Shimla, December 4, 2024 : Leader of the Opposition, Jairam Thakur, launched a sharp attack on the Himachal Pradesh government, accusing it of failing to provide basic healthcare services.

Thakur emphasized the critical need for timely cancer treatment and condemned the government for its negligence.
