Gifts worth crores given to Drang Assembly

Paddhar. Public Works and Urban Development Minister Vikramaditya Singh said that the natural beauty of the state is our heritage from the tourism point of view. It is the collective responsibility of all of us to preserve it. Along with progress, it is very important to take care of nature. Development should not happen at the cost of the beauty here. Even if tough decisions have to be taken for this, the government will not step back from it.
