Parmar’s Legacy: A Forgotten Village?
Himachal Pradesh remembers its founding father, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar, every year. Yet, his birthplace, Chanaalag, remains a stark reminder of unfulfilled promises.
Despite the state’s annual tributes, Chanaalag lacks basic infrastructure. Essential amenities are scarce, hindering the village’s growth.
The absence of memorials and tourism initiatives is particularly striking. This neglect contrasts sharply with the state’s official recognition of Parmar’s contributions.
This disparity highlights a critical issue: the disconnect between symbolic homage and tangible development. The plight of Chanaalag raises questions about the state’s commitment to its historical roots and the well-being of its citizens. The lack of investment in Chanaalag serves as a cautionary tale, underscoring the need for concrete action beyond ceremonial commemorations. It’s a challenge for the state government to ensure that future tributes aren’t just hollow gestures.
