On the occasion of Uttarakhand State Foundation Day, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami unveiled the development booklet-2026 of the Information and Public Relations Department, titled “Empowered Leadership, A Soaring Flight of Development,” at Garhi Cantt in Dehradun. The Chief Minister described the document as an important record of the government’s achievements, public welfare schemes, and its accountability to the people.
Paying tribute to the martyrs of the statehood movement and the women of the state, he stated that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the state is moving toward self-reliance. He highlighted the Char Dham All-Weather Road, the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, and the Rishikesh-Karnaprayag rail project as major pillars of connectivity and development.

Furthermore, he pointed to the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), a stringent anti-conversion law, and land laws as significant measures taken to safeguard the state’s interests.
