Kangana Ranaut Urges Relief for Himachal Pradesh Tourism

BJP MP Kangana Ranaut urged the Himachal Pradesh government to offer a relief package for the tourism industry, which has been severely impacted by recent monsoon disasters. She emphasized that all stakeholders, from hoteliers to cab drivers, are facing significant challenges.

During her visit to Kullu and surrounding areas, Ranaut inaugurated a blood donation camp and interacted with affected families, highlighting that tourism, especially in Manali, has suffered. Despite the Union government's support, she stressed the need for state intervention to effectively distribute funds.

Responding to criticisms over her absence during the disaster, Kangana underscored her personal experiences and appealed for balanced reporting. She also addressed local protests against the Bijli Mahadev Ropeway Project, emphasizing the government's focus on local sentiment and religious devotion.
