Dharamsala, June 18, 2026: Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Thursday laid the foundation stone for a 50-bed Integrated AYUSH Hospital to be constructed within the premises of the District Ayurvedic Hospital in Dharamshala, Kangra district.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that the state government is committed to strengthening the healthcare system by integrating traditional AYUSH therapies with modern medical services. He stated that the proposed hospital would enhance healthcare infrastructure in the region and provide people with easier access to comprehensive and holistic treatment facilities.
The Chief Minister emphasized that the government is making continuous efforts to expand quality healthcare services across the state, with special focus on promoting preventive and wellness-based healthcare through AYUSH systems.
Later, he inaugurated a newly constructed Shopping Complex and Entertainment Centre at Charan, Dharamshala. Developed by Dharamshala Smart City Limited (DSCL) at a cost of ₹7.50 crore, the facility is expected to become a key commercial and recreational hub for local residents.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said the centre would provide shopping, entertainment, and essential daily services under one roof, reducing the need for residents to travel long distances for routine requirements. This, he added, would save both time and money for the public.
Among those present on the occasion were Agriculture Minister Chander Kumar, AYUSH Minister Yadvinder Goma, Deputy Chief Whip Kewal Singh Pathania, and MLAs Kishori Lal, Malender Rajan and Kamlesh Thakur, along with several other dignitaries.
