Rural areas can be re-merged with panchayats, says Himachal CM

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said that rural areas could be re-merged into panchayats if their residents desire so in the future as the Population of the Solan would cross the stipulated 50,000 mark after the 2021 Census.

The Chief Minister while urging the people to vote for BJP candidates said the State Government had ensured balanced and equitable development of all areas, especially those which had remained neglected during the Congress tenure. He also accused the Congress leaders for misguiding people by raking up non-issues in a bid to divert attention from core issues of development.
