Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu while travelling from Dharamshala to Manali made a brief stop at Dohag helipad in Jogindernagar due to unfavorable weather.
During the halt, the Chief Minister played cricket with local children and boosted their morale and promoted the spirit of sportsmanship amongst them.
The Chief Minister said that the present state government was giving special emphasis to encourage sports in Himachal Pradesh as it not only keeps the youth physically fit but also inspires them to stay away from drugs.
