The event was held at the Chief Minister Camp Office in Tanakpur in Champawat.

A total of 18 projects were either launched or initiated, including the inauguration of 13 projects worth Rs 47.86 crores and the foundation stone laying of five new projects valued at Rs 65.78 crores.

These include key infrastructure works such as multi-storey parking in Tanakpur, beautification of the Sipti Waterfall, construction of a craft centre in Shyamlatal, and upgradation of commute facilities around the Purnagiri temple, among other projects.

During his interaction with senior citizens and local dignitaries, the chief minister stressed the importance of involving the elderly in the district's progress. He said that their experiences are essential in shaping an ideal district.

According to him, senior citizens have witnessed various phases of life and have the potential to provide solutions, which is inspiring, especially for the younger generation. He added that the government's aim is to ensure the reach of development schemes to every last village and person in the state.

Highlighting the government's efforts to make services accessible, CM Dhami shared that most departments and welfare schemes have been brought online. This digital shift, he said, has allowed people to benefit from government services without visiting offices, enabling efficient and timely delivery of support.

Later, CM Dhami participated in the "Tiranga Shaurya Yatra," which was held to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor and express solidarity with the Indian Army.

The yatra, which started from the CM camp office and continued to Pilibhit Chungi, saw enthusiastic participation from thousands of citizens. The Chief Minister remarked that the success of Operation Sindoor has instilled pride in every Indian.

Dhami further added that Uttarakhand is a land of brave hearts, with most families having at least one member serving in the army. "The message has been sent. India will no longer tolerate terrorism," the chief minister stated.

Great to see development reaching Champawat! The multi-storey parking and temple commute upgrades will really help pilgrims. But I hope they maintain ecological balance while developing Sipti waterfall - Uttarakhand's natural beauty must be preserved. 🙏

As someone from Uttarakhand, I'm happy but skeptical. Every govt announces projects before elections. Will these actually complete on time? The craft centre in Shyamlatal is a good idea to promote local artisans though. Fingers crossed!

Digital services are the need of the hour! My elderly parents in Almora struggle with paperwork. If schemes truly become online-accessible, it will be a big relief for mountain villages. Kudos for this initiative 👏

While development is welcome, why mix it with political messaging? Operation Sindoor is national security matter, not local development agenda. Projects should speak for themselves without army references. Just my honest opinion.

Pahadi here! Tanakpur needs these infra upgrades badly. But ₹113cr seems less for 18 projects - hope quality isn't compromised. Also, involving elders is our tradition - good to see CM acknowledging their wisdom. Jai Uttarakhand! ⛰️
