Lakhs and lakhs of people are heading there to visit Ram’s birthplace and in Himachal too, the railway line has been expanded and good trains have started coming to Himachal. Due to this, the situation seems to be changing and the scenario of Himachal is changing with the cooperation of the Centre.
Dr. Rajiv Bindal said that the tunnels built between Kiratpur and Mandi have given a new jump to tourism. Similarly, with the construction of Atal Tunnel Rohtang, Himachal Pradesh has stood in a different position in the world map. He said that if all this had happened earlier, Himachal would have been economically more prosperous, but we should thank the Modi government at the Center, which has given Himachal Pradesh a large amount of tourism and employment opportunities in the future through infrastructure development.
