Inaugurating the terminal and announcing the Parvatiya Vikas Bhawan on the same day is commendable. Hope the focus on mountain development is sustained and not just an election-time announcement. The permanent stage for the fair is a thoughtful touch.

Heartwarming to see the CM's message for Makar Sankranti and Ghughuti Tyohar. Preserving and promoting our folk traditions is as important as building infrastructure. Jai Uttarakhand! 🎉

As someone who travels to Kumaon often, a modern bus terminal is very welcome. The current facilities can be quite chaotic. Hoping it has proper amenities and is well-maintained.

While the new terminal is good news, I sincerely hope the construction quality is high. We've seen too many new government buildings develop issues within a year or two. The DM must ensure proper land identification for the Vikas Bhawan without displacing anyone.

Including the Uttarayani Fair in the official calendar and providing financial assistance is a fantastic step. These fairs are the soul of our culture and economy. More power to the Kumaon Cultural Upliftment Forum!
