He stated that the state government during the Covid pandemic ensured that there was no dearth of oxygen, ventilators, beds etc for the Coronavirus patients.

When this pandemic broke out in the state, there were only 50 ventilators in the state.

The state government transported doctors, staff and vaccines to the people of Bara Bhangal area so as to ensure that no one is deprived of vaccination.

In addition, as many as 1,150 people were vaccinated in Malana area of Kullu district by launching a special drive,” he added.

He urged the people of the state to give their wholehearted cooperation to make Himachal pioneer even in the second dose vaccination and the people had always reposed faith in the BJP government.

They will not get carried away by baseless allegations of the Congress leaders, he added.

He also detailed various developmental and welfare schemes launched by the state government and laid the foundation and inaugurated development projects worth Rs 110 crore for Solan assembly segment.
