On Saturday, Chief Minister Jairam Thakur said this at the Sheep Breeding Conference organized by Himachal Pradesh Wool Federation in Banuri, District Kangra. On this occasion, he also inaugurated a tribal community and training center built at a cost of Rs one crore.

He said that the State Government has directed the Deputy Commissioners and Superintendents of Police to ensure strict action against the criminals involved in the theft of sheep and goats of the Gaddis.

He said that good quality sheep will be made available to the Gaddi community to get high quality wool. Jai Ram Thakur said that the people of the state have given a huge mandate to the current state government in the recently concluded Panchayati Raj Institutions and Urban Local Bodies elections. Out of the 63 panchayat committees declared so far, BJP-backed candidates have won 57 of the committees.

The BJP government has created three new municipal corporations in the state, Palampur, Solan and Mandi to ensure the planned development of these big and fast-growing cities in the state.
