Three-day Tsechu fair at the state level starts in Rewalsar

On Sunday, in Rewalsar in the Mandi district, the three-day state-level Tsechu fair honoring Guru Padmasambhava’s birth anniversary was officially opened by Minister of Revenue, Horticulture, and Tribal Development Jagat Singh Negi.

Within the following three months, a master plan for Rewalsar’s beautification will be created. Rewalsar would be developed into a renowned pilgrimage site and stunning vacation spot, Negi said.

The site’s basic amenities will be enhanced in accordance with the master plan. To make sure that contaminated water does not enter the sacred lake, the nearby sewage network will soon be installed, he said.

Negi promised to work on establishing additional patrol circles in the neighborhood. Additionally, he said that a platform will be established in Rewalsar to host cultural events.

He said that the goal of the administration was to turn Himachal Pradesh into a fruitful state. “The Rs 1,300 crore Shiva project, which aimed to plant fruit trees on 6,000 hectares, had commenced.” The Mandi area was included in the initiative, which would assist 15,000 fruit producers, he said.

He announced the opening of a Sub-Horticulture Office in the nearby town of Rewalsar. In a few of months, revenue adalats had resolved 96,000 mutation cases and 6,000 participation cases as well.

He went on, “These cases had been pending for a long time.”

He noted that prompt resolution of division and marking issues was guaranteed by the new Revenue Act. He went on to say that in the future, revenue courts will also be used to decide division and marking matters.

Negi said that the state would become self-sufficient thanks to the budget that Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu proposed. He said that the government has raised the daily salary of MGNREGA workers to Rs 300 and the honorarium of public representatives by a large amount.

He said that the cost of purchasing milk had gone up. Under the Indira Gandhi Samman Nidhi Yojana, women in Lahaul and Spiti would get Rs 1,500 initially, and eventually, all women in the state would receive Rs 1,500.

“Tsechu Fair is a well-known festival, and Rewalsar is a sacred site for three religions,” he said. The fair was a beautiful illustration of religious unity. He emphasized that everyone should have pleasure in life and that everyone was blessed by Guru Padmasambhava. Negi acknowledged that Buddhism was introduced to Tibet and Bhutan by Guru Padmasambhava. Sanjeev Guleria, the chairman of the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC), commended Negi for kicking off the fair. He said that the state’s growth will undoubtedly get a boost from the budget.

Cultural programs were given by students from Kisan Mahila Mandal Dhar, Government Senior Secondary School, and Prajapita Brahma Kumari Ishwariya University in Rewalsar on this occasion.

At the fair were former minister Phunchok Rai, chairman of the SDM and Fair Committee Vishal Sharma, Naib Tehsildar Tek Chand Kashyap, president of the Nagar Panchayat (Rewalsar), Sunita Gupta, pradhan of the gram panchayat (lower Rewalsar), Kesang Rapchin, a member of the Tribal Advisory Council, and other visitors.
