Finally some good news for Uttarakhand! The bridge projects in Nainital and Chamoli districts were long overdue. Better roads will boost tourism and local businesses. Hope the quality of construction is maintained though - we've seen too many substandard projects in hill states. 🙏

As someone from Rudraprayag, I'm happy about the Khankra Chhatikhal road safety work. That stretch is dangerous during monsoons. But government should also focus on regular maintenance - new roads get damaged quickly in hilly areas. Still, a step in right direction!

Good to see funds allocated for Sainik School Ghodakhal. As an alumnus, I know how important this institution is for preparing youth for armed forces. The increased budget will help improve facilities. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While infrastructure development is welcome, I hope the government ensures environmental safeguards. Uttarakhand is ecologically fragile - we've seen the disasters caused by reckless construction. Development and ecology must go hand in hand.

The DA increase for government employees is a relief amid rising prices. But what about private sector workers? Inflation affects everyone. Still, overall good decisions by CM Dhami. Uttarakhand needs this push for growth.

Modernization of fire services is crucial for a disaster-prone state like ours. After the 2021 floods, we need better emergency response systems. Hope the funds are utilized properly without corruption. Uttarakhand's safety should be top priority!
