Good to see our CM actively participating in both spiritual and development activities. The Manaskhand Mandir Mala Yojana will boost religious tourism while creating jobs. Hope the sports facilities get proper maintenance too! 🙏

While temple development is important, I hope equal attention is given to schools and hospitals in remote areas of Uttarakhand. The hockey turf announcement is exciting though - we need more sports infrastructure!

As someone from Haldwani, Kalu Siddha Temple holds special significance for us. Glad to see our cultural heritage being preserved. The CM joining Swachhata Abhiyan sets a good example for citizens too. #CleanUttarakhand

₹1101 crore for Mallital beautification seems excessive when basic roads in hilly areas need repair. Hope the funds are used judiciously. The parking solution in Nainital is much needed though - traffic there is a nightmare!

Positive to see balanced development - temples, roads AND sports facilities. Uttarakhand has potential to become India's adventure sports capital. More such initiatives please! � (that's a hockey stick emoji btw)

The tree plantation is symbolic but we need concrete action to prevent forest fires that devastate Uttarakhand every year. Development shouldn't come at the cost of our beautiful Himalayan ecology.
