SHIMLA--- H.P. Vidhan Sabha Speaker Dr. Rajeev Bindal informed today that possibilities would be explored to set up a craft fair around Nahan area on the analogy of Surajkund fair of Haryana state to promote tourism in district Sirmour. He was state guest in the International Surajkund fair near New Delhi today.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that he had asked Deputy Commissioner Sirmour and other officers of district to visit the fair soon to study all the aspects of the event and submit a proposal to the government soon. He said that Surajkund fair was of international repute which witnesses lakhs of tourists and setting up of such craft fair in the district would strengthen tourism.
