While development projects are welcome, I hope the government ensures quality and doesn't just focus on the number of inaugurations. We've seen many projects announced with fanfare but then face delays or corruption. The proof will be in the implementation.

Good to see focus on both development and heritage. Uttarakhand's culture is its soul. The tech lab at ITI and the lab at Women's College are excellent steps for skill development and education. Jai Uttarakhand! 🏔️

The drinking water schemes are the most crucial part here. Access to clean water changes lives, especially in the villages mentioned. Hope the 154 crore rupee water scheme for Haldwani-Kathgodam is executed efficiently.

CM Dhami is right about Uttarakhand inspiring other states. The decisive policies like UCC show strong leadership. Development should be holistic - roads, water, education, and preserving our values. Bas ab kaam dikhana hai.

As someone from the hills, I appreciate any investment in our state. But I hope the development is sustainable and doesn't harm the fragile Himalayan ecology. The focus should be on green infrastructure.
