Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday honoured international woman bodybuilder Pratibha Thapliyal for her remarkable achievements in the field of bodybuilding.

Finally, some positive news! Honouring athletes like this is important. But the government must also ensure proper sports infrastructure in remote areas. Many talents in the hills go unnoticed due to lack of facilities.

As someone from Dehradun, this makes me so proud. Uttarakhand may be small, but our people have a giant spirit. Women here have always been strong - from farming in tough terrain to winning world championships. Jai Uttarakhand!

I love that he presented a plant along with the shawl. It's a beautiful, symbolic gesture connecting her achievement to the state's environmental values. Well done, CM Dhami, for recognising her in a meaningful way.

The talk about offering government service opportunities to successful women is a good step. But it must be implemented transparently, based on merit, not just as a symbolic gesture. Hope this promise is followed through.

Bodybuilding requires immense discipline and sacrifice. For a woman from our hills to reach this level is phenomenal. She's not just building muscles, she's building a path for others. Respect! 🙏
