Himachal Pradesh is facing a severe economic crisis with debt exceeding ₹1 lakh crore and pending liabilities of ₹13,000 crore. The government has deferred salaries of the CM, ministers, and MLAs for six months. HRTC employees in 28 out of 31 depots haven't received salaries by the 12th of the month, leading to strike threats.
