Great initiative by CM Dhami. As someone from Dehradun, I've seen Tehri transform. The lake is breathtaking. Promoting water sports will attract a different kind of tourist and boost the local economy. Just hope the infrastructure keeps up and it remains clean!

Rs 1.3 billion is a huge investment. While development is good, I sincerely hope the money is used transparently and the focus is on quality, long-term projects, not just short-term political gains. The youth need real opportunities, not just promises.

Visiting from the US last year, Tehri Lake was a highlight. The scenery is world-class. Developing it as an adventure sports hub is a brilliant idea. Could be a great destination for international competitions. Good luck!

Encouraging players and creating employment for local youth is the key. Many young people from the hills have to migrate for work. If they can get jobs as instructors, guides, or in hospitality right there, it will change lives. Jai Uttarakhand! 💪

Scuba diving in Tehri? That's ambitious and exciting! But my main concern is safety standards and training. The government must ensure proper regulations and certified trainers are in place before promoting such activities. We don't want any accidents marring this beautiful project.
