Highlights
Shimla should not become a concrete jungle.
We are trying to check haphazard construction to the extent possible under the rules but at times people approach courts and get relief.
Apple is the main cash crop but most of the orchards are aged with productivity declining to a meagre 5 to 7 tonnes per hectare. Advanced countries like Israel are having a yield of 50 tonnes per hectare.
We have been impressing upon the Centre to expand the rail network not only to boost tourism but also from the defence point of view in the larger national interest.
