The Chief Minister apprised them that the state is promoting film production as Himachal has been blessed with rich culture, history, and picturesque locations.
To promote Himachal as a favorite destination, the government has formulated a comprehensive film policy and is planning to set up a film facilitation cell in the Department of Information and Public Relations as a single window platform for granting permission within three working days, he said.
“Our government will offer more developed film shooting locations to film producers with improved amenities,” Sukhu said, adding that the government will allow the film units engaged in outdoor shooting in the state to use airstrips and helipads across Himachal.
