Himachal Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Saturday said that the State Government would take up the matter with the Central Government for linking Paonta Sahib with Saharanpur with rail line to provide rail connectivity for effective industrial development of not only Paonta Sahib area but entire Sirmour district.
Thakur was interacting with member of Himachal Pradesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Paonta Sahib in Sirmour district.
He said that expiry of special industrial package for the state and GST had posed new challenges for expediting industrialization development in the hill states like Himachal Pradesh. However, Himachal Pradesh had several added attractions such as responsive and transparent administration, industrial peace, skilled manpower and uninterrupted power supply to boost industrial activities, said he.
