Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], October 15 (ANI): Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu directed officials to make an umbrella act combining all water-related laws, for which an expert committee will be formed.
Chairing a high-power committee meeting in Shimla on Tuesday, he assured that the present state government will protect the interests of the people of Himachal Pradesh.
Sukhu highlighted his government's efforts to improve the financial situation.
"It is due to the better fiscal reforms that enabled the release of four per cent Dearness Allowance (DA) installment for government employees and pensioners. This follows a seven per cent DA given earlier whereas the previous BJP government totally neglected the interest of the state leading to an investment drain," CM Sukhu said.
He emphasized that the state's resources will be utilized properly and ongoing court cases will be strongly pursued.
The Chief Minister also acknowledged challenges posed by global warming and climate change, necessitating studies on increasing cloud bursts.
Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena, Advocate General Anup Rattan, Additional Chief Secretary Onkar Chand Sharma, Principal Secretary Devesh Kumar, Secretary to the Chief Minister Rakesh Kanwar, Chairman Himachal Pradesh State Water Cess Commission Amitabh Awasthi, Law Secretary Sharad Kumar Lagwal and other senior officials were present in the meeting.
