While infrastructure is important, I hope the focus on high-tech toilets and parking doesn't overshadow basic needs in remote villages. The disaster management fund is a wise allocation given our state's vulnerability.

Rs 5.39 crore for an ATC tower sounds reasonable. But the amounts for toilets seem very high? Rs 63-76 lakh for one facility? Need transparency in these tenders. Public money must be spent carefully.

Visiting Uttarakhand often, I see the need for better facilities. The multi-storey parking near Deval Bazaar is a welcome step for tourists. Naming the road after a martyr is a respectful tribute.

Jan-Jan Ke Dwar campaign is a good initiative if implemented properly. Hope the funds reach the grassroots. The ATC tower will boost connectivity, but let's not forget improving the existing road network too!
