While the investment is impressive, I hope the environmental impact of these dams is properly assessed. Uttarakhand's ecology is fragile and we need sustainable development.

Direct benefit transfer of ₹62 crores to farmers under PM Fasal Bima Yojana is the real game-changer! No middlemen, money straight to beneficiaries. This is how governance should work. 💪
