On the healthcare front, the Chief Minister emphasised the need for modernising medical infrastructure. He said that discussions had been held with doctors at Tanda Medical College to improve health services. 'Although Himachali doctors are renowned across the country, due to outdated medical equipment, the patients were forced to seek treatment outside the State.
