Himachal Government Considers Rest House Rate Hike, Route Closures
The Himachal Pradesh government is looking at raising the prices of its rest houses because they are too cheap compared to other places.
A member of the government said that the current price of Rs 500 isn't enough.
The government is also making it easier for milk companies to register, and giving them money to help them.
On the other hand, the government has shut down some bus routes because not enough people were using them.

SDMs will conduct registration of milk societies.
