During his return Journey from Solan last evening Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu made an impromptu visit to Kandaghat to inspect the ongoing construction of a hospital building and playground.
Local residents informed the Chief Minister that the construction of the 50-bed Kandaghat hospital, initiated during the previous Congress government with an allocated budget of Rs. 14 crore, had been stalled during the tenure of the preceding BJP Government.
