Speaking at Manu Rangshala, the CM said that it was heartening to know that over 153 Mahila Mandals and other NGOs of the area participated in the procession based on several important issues such as cleanliness, drug abuse, gau sanrakshan, women empowerment, female foeticide and environment conservation. He said the messages were not only vital but emphatically presented by the women.

Thakur announced that a primary health centre would be opened at Bhakli in Manali and that ₹5 crore would be spent on maintenance of the Left Bank road.
