While it's nice that the CM visited the hospital, I hope this isn't just for show. The real test is ensuring AIIMS Rishikesh and all state hospitals have the resources they need year-round for every citizen, not just ministers. The prayers are fine, but action on healthcare infrastructure is what we need.

Navratri ka shubh aarambh! 🪔 CM Dhami's visit shows concern for his colleague, and his prayers for the state's well-being are in the right spirit. In our culture, starting any new venture, including a new year, with blessings is important. Hope the Tourism Minister recovers soon to serve Devbhoomi again.

Health scares are always worrying. Thank God he is stable. AIIMS Rishikesh is a blessing for our hill state. On a different note, CM's New Year message about harmony and service is beautiful. Let's hope the year 2083 brings real progress for all, not just words.

As a doctor, I'm glad the minister is receiving good care. The report says "slight deterioration" but he was in ICU, which shows they are being cautious, which is good. Wishing him a full recovery. Also, a very Happy Hindu New Year to everyone celebrating! May it be healthy and peaceful.
