Earlier in April, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said that Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) has recorded a historic profit exceeding Rs 100 crore for the first time.
CM Sukhu said that HPTDC has achieved the annual turnover from Rs 78 crore during the previous BJP Government regime to Rs 107 crore under the present state government despite facing the challenges posed by natural disasters in the State.
