Shimla: Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has appealed to Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda for additional financial aid towards the development of the Bulk Drug Park in Una, Himachal Pradesh.
Sukhu called on Nadda in New Delhi on Wednesday, where Sukhu emphasized the state government's dedication, under Congress leadership, to bolstering the healthcare sector through upgraded infrastructure and services, according to the official release issued here on Thursday.
The chief minister requested him for additional financial assistance for the Bulk Drug Park, citing its critical role in the state’s economic development and its potential to generate local employment opportunities.

He also demanded funds for completing the infrastructure and other pending works at medical colleges in Nahan, Chamba and Hamirpur, it added.
