Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu
on Friday offered prayers at the historic Jakhu temple here and took part in the installation ceremony of a 108-feet-high Hanuman dhwaja (flag) on the temple premises.
Jakhu temple holds deep spiritual significance. It is a symbol of collective faith of the people, and is home to the tallest statue of Lord Hanuman, said Sukhu.
A statue of Lord Ram is also being installed at the temple complex; however, certain procedural challenges related to the Forest Conservation Act (FCA) are being addressed to facilitate the installation, said the CM.
"The state govt aims to improve basic amenities for devotees visiting Jakhu temple, including better parking, seating arrangements, and other facilities, while ensuring ecological balance," said Sukhu.
Replying to a question, the CM said the state govt was working round-the-clock to provide relief and rehabilitation to the people affected by natural disasters, and even the leader of the opposition was in constant touch with him, as his constituency Seraj suffered extensive damages.
Rest houses for public
CM Sukhu on Friday said many govt rest houses were being made available to the general public at uniform rates through online bookings, and the remaining rest houses would be integrated with the online booking system soon.
