"We must work together": Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami calls for collective action to navigate global crisis amid West Asia tensions
"This is a global crisis, so at such a time, we must work together... - CM Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, March 25

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday chaired a high-level state cabinet meeting in Dehradun to discuss the state's response to the ongoing global situation. Emphasising the need for regional and national cooperation, the Chief Minister urged the effective utilisation of all available resources to overcome current challenges and ensure the state's continued progress.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, while talking to the reporters, said, "Prime Minister Modi has also laid out all the matters before the countrymen yesterday. This is a global crisis, so at such a time, we must work together by making full use of the resources we have. We will face this moment too and move ahead from this as well..."

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami visited a restaurant in the Garhi Cantt area of Dehradun as part of efforts to review the supply of cooking gas. 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.

The call for unity is important, but I hope this translates into concrete support for small businesses and households. During COVID, many promises were made but implementation was patchy. The administration must ensure alternative energy sources are actually available and affordable.

Jai Uttarakhand! Our state has faced bigger challenges like natural disasters. If we could handle that, we can handle a potential gas issue. CM Dhami is right, we need to stand together. Maybe time for more people to switch to induction cooktops anyway.

As someone living in Dehradun, I appreciate the transparency. Knowing there's no severe shortage right now prevents panic buying. The comparison to COVID unity is apt – that spirit of helping neighbors was truly special. Let's keep that alive.

While the sentiment is good, "working together" often means the common citizen bears the burden. What is the government doing to secure long-term energy solutions? We need less talk and more action on renewable energy projects in the hills.

My family runs a small dhaba on the highway. Using the tandoor more is a practical tip we will follow. It's reassuring to hear the CM say the government is prepared to assist. Hope they have a proper helpline if things get difficult.
