Key Points

"Today, after reading some such complaint letters, I talked to the concerned complainants. Also, I have instructed the officials to take immediate action on them. Solution is the biggest identity of the working style of our government," CM Dhami said.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, while talking to the complainants who sent letters to the Chief Minister's Office and shared their problems, has instructed the officials to take appropriate action on their issues. Karm Chand, a resident of Shergarh in Doiwala tehsil, had lodged a complaint that the irrigation canal coming to his field has broken, due to which there is a crisis of irrigation.

After listening to the entire problem, the Chief Minister directed the Chief Engineer, Irrigation Department, to take appropriate action in the matter.

Similarly, Major Naresh Kumar Saklani lodged a complaint about private persons encroaching on his land and building a minor irrigation canal, on which Chief Minister Dhami has directed the District Magistrate Dehradun to take immediate action.

Another complainant, Canal Road resident Dhirendra Shukla, has filed a complaint against the builder for harassment. The Chief Minister has asked MDDA to investigate the matter. The Chief Minister has also directed the Secretary of the Public Works Department to take action on the road-related complaint of Vikasnagar Dinkar Vihar resident Vishan Dutt Sharma.

Earlier today, the Uttarakhand CM flagged off the Kalash Yatra for the Jalabhishek of the idol of Lord Surya in Kushinagar district from his official residence in Dehradun.

As part of the initiative, water from around 151 sacred rivers across the country is being collected for the Jalabhishek of the Surya idol in Kushinagar. The Kalash Yatra, flagged off by the Chief Minister, includes water gathered from the holy rivers of Uttarakhand.

Mahamandaleshwar 1008 Swami Santoshanand Dev Maharaj, President of the Purvanchal Mahotsav Samiti Vinay Rai, along with other committee members, were present during the flagging-off ceremony.

Earlier on Thursday, in view of the Kanwar Yatra, the Uttarakhand government launched 'Operation Kalanemi' to take action against imposters who are hurting religious sentiments and duping people in the name of 'Sanatan Dharma'.

Chief Minister Dhami said that many such cases have come to light in the state where anti-social elements are cheating people, especially women, by disguising themselves as seers. This, he said, is not only hurting the religious sentiments of the people, but also harming the image of social harmony and Sanatan tradition. "In such a situation, if a person of any religion is found doing such acts, then strict action will be ensured against him," he added.

The Chief Minister referenced the mythological asura Kalanemi, stating that just like the demon had attempted to mislead by disguising himself as a saint, similarly, many "Kalanemis" are active in society today who are committing crimes in religious guise. Dhami further said that his government is fully committed to protecting public sentiments, the dignity of Sanatan culture and maintaining social harmony. Those who spread hypocrisy in the name of faith will not be spared under any circumstances, he said.
