During his recent visit to Pangi for the state-level Himachal Day celebrations, CM Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu met with 90-year-old veteran social worker Hari Singh Rana, who presented his newly authored book “Mere Achhe Din” for release.
Wearing the traditional white cap of the region, Rana was warmly welcomed by the Chief Minister, who invited him to sit beside him and enquired about his well-being. The Chief Minister released the book and extended his heartfelt best wishes to Hari Singh Rana for his continued dedication to social service.
On the occasion, Hari Singh Rana also submitted a memorandum outlining key developmental demands of the Pangi region. The Chief Minister assured him of appropriate action and reiterated the government’s strong commitment to the progress of remote and tribal areas.
A former Pradhan of Killar Gram Panchayat (1979–1984), Rana fondly recalled his earlier interactions with the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, including a visit to Delhi and her memorable trip to Pangi in 1984. Expressing deep satisfaction with the meeting, Rana lauded the government’s efforts toward inclusive and equitable development. On the occasion Vidhansabha Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania, MLA Sunder Singh Thakur and Chairman of APMC Chamba Lalit Thakur were also present on the occasion.
