Himachal Pradesh Secures Record Revenue Share from Wildflower Hall Hotel Auction

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu highlighted this as a milestone for state revenue and criticized the Central Government's discontinuation of the Revenue Deficit Grant, which he says impacts the state's finances.
