SHIMLA : The Chenab-Beas tunnel project is of paramount importance as its construction would divert surplus water from the Chenab river through a tunnel into the Beas basin, thereby cutting off the water supply to Pakistan, said Himachal Governor Kavinder Gupta on Monday.
Talking with the media here after taking part in the self-enumeration drive of the census, which commenced in the state on June 1, he said that Pakistan actively fosters terrorism and it is essential to teach it a lesson.
He said this initiative represents a necessary step toward rectifying past errors and emphasised that fulfilling the needs of Punjab, Himachal, Haryana, and Uttarakhand remains a top priority for the government.
The governor said that the census data would help the government in formulating schemes related to poverty alleviation, healthcare, education, and infrastructure development.
In Himachal, citizens can conduct their own self-enumeration via an online portal or a mobile application from June 1 to June 15. During this period, individuals are required to personally fill in the details of all their family members. (Agencies)
