While attending last rites is important, I'm more impressed by the concrete announcements for the tribal community and for Kumbh Mela. That's real governance – planning for development and preserving culture. The ₹90 crore for Kumbh is a huge commitment.

The approval for free online coaching for differently-abled students is a fantastic step! This is true empowerment. More states should have such inclusive schemes. Hope it gets implemented effectively.

Resolving the winter migration issues for the Bhotiya tribe is a significant move. These communities often get overlooked. The development in memory of Gaura Devi is also a fitting tribute to an environmental icon.

A busy day for the CM, from personal condolences to policy announcements. It shows the range of a leader's duties. However, I hope the funds for Kumbh Mela are used transparently. We've seen cost overruns in such mega events before.
