Himachal Pradesh this year has witnessed an increase in forest fire incidents by more than two times. This was revealed…
With a view to celebrate fairs in a befitting way, the state government has accorded international status to many fairs organised in various districts of the state, said Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh.
He was addressing the people on Monday, during the closing ceremony of four-day long International Lavi fair at Rampur in Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh.
Complimenting the people of the area on the occasion of the traditional Lavi fair, he said that these festivals were not only the medium of entertainment, but these immensely help in promoting and carrying forward our century-old traditions, culture and folk languages.
The chief minister said it was unfortunate that this year trade was affected to a large scale and people also showed enthusiasm during Lavi fair as compared to previous years due to demonetisation policy of the government of India.
Virbhadra Singh distributed the prizes to the winners of exhibitions put up by various government departments and non-government organisations during the Lavi fair.
State Youth Congress President Vikramaditya Singh appreciated the efforts of the state government for preserving and promoting the rich cultural of the state.
