  3. The Himachal pradesh Govt is stressing to identify the untapped tourist spot in the State, only on announcement and papers and is not serious to done any development , as from last more than 5 years Vasuki Naag Mandir Chamba At Gram Panchayat Dulara, -Lihal, in Block Mehla have requested a number of times, but neither any budget sanctioned, nor any development of basic amenities developed for this are and people , devotee, and tourist suffer more to visit at this very nice tourist spot, Again requested to the Govt and Concerned Departments to provide some basic amenities for toilet , foot path rail shelter , resting point for tourists, and a Tourist Hut, so that the tourists may not suffer.

    With Regards
