International kayaking competition in Gadarpur? That's unexpected but exciting! Uttarakhand's rivers are indeed perfect for such events. Hope the local youth get training opportunities from this. Also, 12 years of Modi government - time flies, and development work is visible.
Honestly, I appreciate the focus on adventure sports but hope this isn't just a photo-op. Uttarakhand needs sustainable development, not just event-based visibility. That said, if proper infrastructure comes out of this, it's a win for the state. Let's see how the follow-up is.
The public outreach campaign is crucial. So many government schemes don't reach the last mile because of awareness gaps. If CM Dhami's team actually goes door-to-door explaining benefits, that's real governance. And yes, Uttarakhand's natural beauty is perfect for adventure sports - just need world-class facilities!
I'm from Udham Singh Nagar and this is exciting news! The area has potential but often gets overlooked. International events here could bring tourism and jobs. Just hope the event is well-organized and athletes get proper facilities. Also, CM visiting MLA's family shows a human side to politics. 👍
Water sports in Uttarakhand - what a combination of adventure and nature! This could be a game-changer for tourism. But the government must also focus on environmental protection. Don't want the rivers to get polluted or ecosystems damaged. Sustainable development is the key, not just events.
