"development along with heritage - Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, April 4

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Saturday addressed police constables undergoing training at the Police Lines in Dehradun.

He emphasised strengthening law and order in the state, playing an active role in disaster management, and ensuring smooth traffic management.

Earlier in the day, the Chief Minister inaugurated the renovation and restoration of Jugmandar Hall at the Dehradun Municipal Corporation, a project executed at a cost of Rs 2.32 crore as part of efforts to preserve and promote the city's cultural heritage.

On the occasion, the CM also laid the foundation stone for a canal at the ABC Centre in Kedarpuram and announced the development and beautification of parks at six locations within the municipal area.

Addressing the gathering, Dhami said the state government is pursuing a vision of "development along with heritage", ensuring Dehradun progresses while preserving its rich cultural identity. He highlighted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urban areas are being modernised through missions like Swachh Bharat, AMRUT, Smart City, and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, enhancing cleanliness, water supply, sewerage, green spaces, and housing for economically weaker sections.

He added that over Rs 1,400 crore in development projects are underway to transform Dehradun into a modern city, including a mechanised waste transfer station and an Integrated Command and Control Centre for real-time monitoring of garbage collection.

Dhami noted that 35 parks, including a yoga-themed park in Kedarpuram, and special memorial parks for martyrs, have been developed, adding over 50,000 sq meters of green space. Recharge pits are being built to conserve water, and 30 electric buses are now operational with 11 EV charging stations across the city. Dehradun ranked 19th nationally under the National Clean Air Programme.

The CM announced that the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, set to be inaugurated soon by PM Modi, will significantly improve connectivity. Plans are also underway for elevated roads over the Rispana and Bindal rivers to ease traffic congestion.

Training for police in disaster management is very crucial for a hill state like Uttarakhand. Hope they are also equipped with modern technology and resources. The parks and green spaces are a welcome move for public health.

Rs 2.32 crore for renovating a hall? While preserving heritage is important, I hope there is transparency in these costs. The public wants to see value for money, especially when so many basic issues need attention. The focus should be on sustainable development that benefits all citizens.

Electric buses and EV charging stations are a fantastic step forward! This is the kind of future-ready thinking we need. Hope other hill stations follow Dehradun's lead in promoting clean air and green transport. 🌿

The traffic situation in Dehradun has become a nightmare. Elevated roads over Rispana and Bindal are a much-needed announcement. Hope the projects are completed on time without the usual delays. Jai Uttarakhand!

As someone who visits family in Dehradun often, the focus on cleanliness (Swachh Bharat) and the new parks is very noticeable and appreciated. A cleaner, greener city makes a huge difference to quality of life. Well done.
