In a heartfelt demonstration of grassroots governance, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu visited the remote village of Sharchi in the Banjar constituency of Kullu district as part of the ‘Sarkar Gaon Ke Dwar’ initiative. This program aims to bridge the gap between the government and rural communities by bringing administrative services directly to the villagers’ doorsteps.
Upon his arrival, the Chief Minister received a warm and traditional welcome from the residents, reflecting their enthusiasm and hope for development. He chose to stay overnight at the home of retired Subedar Anoop Ram, emphasizing his commitment to understanding the villagers’ daily lives and challenges.
During his stay, CM Sukhu engaged in open dialogues with villagers across all age groups, listening attentively to their concerns. He issued immediate directives to officials to address the issues raised, ensuring timely solutions. Notably, he instructed the Public Works Department to widen and upgrade the Nagladi–Sharchi road, including the construction of proper drainage systems and the installation of paver blocks where necessary to ensure long-term maintenance.
In a move to empower local women, the Chief Minister announced a grant of ₹1 lakh each to five women’s self-help groups from the Sharchi Gram Panchayat. He also shared information about various state government schemes, including special revenue Lok Adalats organized at tehsil and sub-tehsil levels to resolve long-pending revenue cases efficiently.
Expressing his joy at being among the villagers, CM Sukhu stated, “Since the formation of this government, I have made it a priority to personally visit remote areas and understand people’s problems to resolve them.” He highlighted his visits to other remote regions like Dodra Kwar, Kupvi, and Pangi under the same program, reinforcing his government’s commitment to inclusive development.
The visit left a lasting impact on the residents. Retired Subedar Anoop Ram expressed his gratitude, noting that it was the first time a Chief Minister had visited their village, and he felt honored to host him. His son, Naresh, shared the community’s pride in the visit, emphasizing its significance for the entire village. Local leaders, including Pradhan Gram Panchayat Bandal Ishwari Devi and Sharchi Gram Panchayat Pradhan Rameshwari Thakur, also expressed their appreciation for the government’s initiatives, particularly those aimed at empowering women.
Earlier, the Chief Minister offered prayers at the local Gada Durga temple, seeking prosperity and well-being for the state. The event was attended by various dignitaries, including MLA Sunder Singh Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Gaur, Chairman APMC Ram Singh, Chairman Milkfed Buddhi Singh Thakur, former Minister Khimi Ram Sharma, Vice-Chairman HPSIDC Vishal Chambiyal, Secretary Ashish Singhmar, Director Women and Child Development Dr. Pankaj Lalit, Deputy Commissioner Torul S.
