“The tourism sector of Dharamshala and its surroundings was deteriorated during the Congress government regime, because of the negligible interest taken by the then local MLA Sudir Sharma, who was also a minister, ” said Food, Civil supplies & Consumer Affairs minister Kishan Kapoor.
Kapoor was addressing a press conference in Dharamshala on Friday.
Minister alleged that Sharma encouraged local hoteliers for illegal constructions, with a word of promise that the same would be regularized by their government at later stage.
These owners are under fire now , when their establishments were closed due to a cut in the supply of water and electricity.
Kapoor said,” how could Ex minister ask us to clear our policy on these illegal constructions, when he (Sharma) remained silent spectator, even when he was holding the town and country planning portfolio in the previous government.”
Kapoor said, “Now our government has given relief to these hoteliers.
Now, one can construct four stories in place of two in core areas like Mecleodganj, and the water and electricity shall be connected to the area of the building, which clears the law of construction, so that, though partial , one can run his business.”
Consumer Affairs Minister Kishan Kapoor alleged Ex minister and MLA of Dharamshala that as he (Sharma) belongs to Baijnath and not Dharamshala, he only helped the people of Baijnath area.
