Dhani Ram Shandil refutes BJP’s claims on central aid to Himachal Pradesh

Shimla, Nov 5 (UNI) Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. (Col.) Dhani Ram Shandil has strongly refuted the statements made by Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur and Rajya Sabha MP Harsh Mahajan, who claimed that the Central Government has extended generous financial support to Himachal Pradesh.
Dr. Shandil clarified that the Centre released only Rs 433.70 crore as disaster relief following the devastating 2023 monsoon, despite total estimated losses amounting to Rs 9,000–10,000 crore.
“Describing this as ‘liberal assistance’ is nothing short of an attempt to mislead the people of Himachal,” he said.
