Earlier, CM Dhami inaugurated the newly constructed chambers for advocates at Khatima Civil Court, built at a cost of Rs 1 crore, by cutting the ribbon and lighting the ceremonial lamp on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister congratulated the advocates and extended his best wishes on the occasion of Mahashivratri and the construction of the new chambers.
He said the new chambers will become an important centre for judicial discussions and legal studies for advocates and will help make judicial work easier and faster. He added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several important steps are being taken to make the judicial system more transparent. He said the facility will benefit advocates coming from Khatima and nearby areas, as well as the general public.
The Chief Minister said that after Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office, more than 7,000 courts and around 11,000 residential units have been constructed across the country, which is a major record in itself.
He said that, inspired by the Prime Minister, Uttarakhand is making continuous efforts to modernise the judicial system and further strengthen legal education. He added that every sector of Khatima will be developed.
The Chief Minister also announced Rs 2.5 crore for the construction of 20 additional chambers for advocates.

The new chambers for advocates in Khatima are a welcome step! A strong judicial infrastructure is crucial for justice to be accessible to all. ₹1 crore seems like a good investment for public service. Kudos to the CM for inaugurating it on Mahashivratri.
While development is good, I hope these meetings are not just for show. We need less talk and more action. The Char Dham road project, for instance, has faced many delays. Let's see tangible results in every constituency, not just announcements.
Interesting to see the focus on modernizing the judicial system. As someone who follows legal reforms, the numbers quoted (7000+ courts) are impressive if true. Hope the new chambers genuinely ease the workload for lawyers and speed up case disposal for citizens.
Development of Khatima is much needed. But alongside courts and chambers, please also focus on basic amenities like water supply, healthcare, and schools in the remote areas of Uttarakhand. Balanced development is key for our pahad state. 🏔️
Announcement of another ₹2.5 crore is good, but transparency in spending is crucial. We need to ensure every rupee reaches the intended project. The CM should also consider the environmental impact of all construction in the fragile Himalayan ecosystem.
