As someone who travels to Uttarakhand often, the road conditions in remote areas are a major concern. Glad to see focus on border connectivity and safety. Implementation is key though - hope this isn't just another meeting.

Vision 2047 is a great initiative, but development must be sustainable. Building roads in the Himalayas needs extra care for the environment. We cannot compromise our fragile ecosystems for concrete. Please ensure eco-friendly practices.

Good to see state and centre working together. Border area connectivity is not just about tourism, it's a matter of national security as well. Strong infrastructure in Uttarakhand strengthens our entire northern frontier. Jai Hind!

My family is from a small village near Ranikhet. Better roads mean easier access to hospitals, markets, and schools for us. This is real development that touches lives. Hope the projects reach the last mile and aren't limited to main towns.

While the vision is commendable, I hope the "time-bound" strategy includes clear accountability. We've seen many infrastructure promises delayed for years. The public deserves regular updates on project milestones and completion dates.
