The Congress government, meanwhile, has decided to rationalise schools and due to its earnest efforts, Sukhu said, Himachal Pradesh has jumped from rank 21 to five nationwide in the education rankings.

The CM also inaugurated the office building of the Assistant District Attorney at Nadaun and laid the foundation stone for the upgrade of the Sera to Sera-Pakhrol-Manpul road. Sukhu also paid tributes to two soldiers — Arvind Singh and Subedar Kuldeep Chand — who were killed in action with terrorists.
