Vishal Rana, Hamirpur

Yesterday, the Himachal Pradesh government announced the four nominated Councillors for the Hamirpur Municipal Committee, with the most attention-grabbing name being Dr. Harsh Kalia.

In a move reminiscent of Rahul Gandhi and the state’s Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s preference for educated youth within the party and government, this young doctor from Hamirpur has been appointed as a councilor. Dr. Kalia is a well-known figure in Hamirpur and has a strong influence among the youth. Notably, he has cleared HAS (Mains) exam twice, leaving behind a job at Himachal Allied Services to commence private practice in Hamirpur.

Dr. Harsh Kalia, hailing from a lineage deeply connected to the Congress family and freedom fighters, has a distinguished family background. His grandfather, Comrade Amin Chand Kalia, was a renowned freedom fighter and former Deputy Speaker of the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly. His father, Purushottam Kalia, is a retired principal and the current president of the state’s Freedom Fighters’ Association.

Dr. Kalia has expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhhu, Congress’ senior leader Dr. Pushpendra Varma, Chief Minister’s advisor Sunil Sharma Bittu, and all other Congress leaders for his appointment.

Dr. Harsh Kalia is poised to represent the youth in the Hamirpur Municipal Council and bring the benefits of his innovative ideas to the town. With his appointment, Hamirpur Municipal Committee is sure to witness positive changes and development.
