Great to see our leaders visiting sacred places like Adi-Kailash and acknowledging our brave soldiers. 🙏 The Himalayas are not just our natural heritage but also spiritual strength. Hope more infrastructure development comes to these border areas without harming the environment.

While I appreciate the visit, I hope the focus remains on improving healthcare facilities in Uttarakhand's remote areas. Many villages near the China border still lack basic medical services. Spiritual tourism is good, but let's not forget development needs.

Jai Baba Kailash! ❤️ This visit shows the importance of our Himalayan borders - both spiritually and strategically. The 'House of Himalayas' initiative is brilliant - supporting local women while promoting Uttarakhand's unique products. More power to our pahadi sisters!

As someone from Uttarakhand, I'm happy but also cautious. Too much tourism can harm fragile ecosystems. Hope the government balances development with conservation. The soldiers' morale boost is much needed though - they protect us in such difficult terrain.

Good symbolic visit, but what about concrete steps? The China border situation remains tense. While spirituality is important, we need more than just photo-ops with soldiers. Hope this translates into better equipment and facilities for our jawans posted in these extreme conditions.

The House of Himalayas initiative is wonderful! Supporting women entrepreneurs in hill states is the way forward. 🌄 Maybe next time the ministers can spend more time understanding local challenges rather than just ceremonial visits. Uttarakhand has so much potential beyond just tourism!
