Outgoing Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla has advised the state government to adopt a strong work culture and effectively utilise opportunities to become self-reliant. Speaking to mediapersons, he said that more than 50 years have passed since the state was formed, yet it has advanced less significantly than Uttarakhand.
The governor also expressed gratitude for the affection he received during his tenure and emphasised the need to curb the growing drug menace, protect the environment, and develop the tourism sector.
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu praised the governor's leadership, saying that Lok Bhavan became a responsive centre connected with public concerns under his leadership.
The governor will soon take charge as the Governor of Telangana, leaving behind cherished memories of the love and cooperation extended by people in Himachal Pradesh.
