Uttarakhand CM visits restaurant in Dehradun, enquires about gas supply

CM Pushkar Singh Dhami visits a Dehradun restaurant to assess cooking gas availability, urges unity, and promotes alternative energy sources.

"If the need arises, citizens will have to face the challenge with unity, just as they did during COVID-19 - Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, March 24

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday visited a restaurant in the Garhi Cantt area of Dehradun as part of efforts to review the supply of cooking gas, where he informed hotel and restaurant operators that there is no severe gas shortage at present.

However, he added that if the need arises in the coming days, citizens will have to face the challenge with unity, just as they did during the COVID-19 pandemic, a release said.

During his visit, the Chief Minister enquired about gas supply from the restaurant owner, who stated that although there has been a slight reduction in supply, gas is still being received regularly.

The owner also mentioned that they are using tandoors more frequently to reduce gas consumption. Appreciating this initiative, the Chief Minister directed the administration to make necessary arrangements for alternative energy sources.

He further stated that gas supply is currently continuing and that the central government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is making every effort to ensure its smooth availability.

Appealing to hotel and restaurant operators as well as the general public, he said that if required, the nation will once again come together to tackle this challenge. Just as people showed unity and patience during the COVID period, the same spirit will be needed again.

The Chief Minister also suggested that alternatives like induction cooking and other methods can be used as substitutes for gas. He assured that the government is fully prepared to assist people in every possible way.

Dhami on Monday unveiled the Panchang table calendar titled "From the Soil of Uttarakhand - From Hero to People's Leader: Pushkar Singh Dhami" at the Chief Minister's residence.

The CM said that the Panchang calendar includes details of dates, days, lunar phases, months, festivals, and special occasions, along with information on traditional festivals and fasting rituals. Appreciating such efforts, he noted that this initiative would help people stay connected with their culture and traditions. The concept of this calendar was developed by the Chief Minister's Media Coordinator, Madan Mohan Sati.

Using tandoors more is a smart move by the restaurant owner! 🍛 This is the kind of jugaad we Indians are good at. But the government should focus on ensuring steady supply for households first. Restaurants can adapt more easily than a family trying to cook daily meals.

While the visit is positive, the article ends with a promotional note about a calendar with the CM's name. Feels a bit off-topic? The focus should remain on the gas supply issue. We need transparency on actual stock levels, not just political messaging.

Interesting to see the comparison to COVID unity. It's true, if a challenge comes, people will pull together. But proactive planning to avoid the crisis altogether is better than preparing to face it. Induction cooking is a good suggestion for urban areas.

Garhi Cantt area is a good spot to check. Many eateries there. Hope the 'slight reduction' doesn't turn into a major problem. The government should work on long-term energy security for hill states like Uttarakhand. We can't rely on just one source.

Appreciate the direct interaction. More ministers should do this instead of just getting reports in offices. But let's see if the 'necessary arrangements' actually happen on the ground. Often the follow-up is missing. Fingers crossed! 🤞
