On the occasion of Uttarakhand State Foundation Day, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami visited the Martyrs’ Memorial at the Kacheri (court) complex in Dehradun and paid floral tributes to the immortal martyrs of the statehood movement. Paying homage to those who sacrificed their lives for the creation of a separate state, the Chief Minister recalled their struggle and sacrifices. He stated that the dream of the state became a reality only through the collective contribution of all sections of society, including women, the youth, and ex-servicemen.
The Chief Minister noted that as Uttarakhand completes 26 years since its inception, it is moving toward new heights of development. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sectors such as connectivity, education, health, and tourism are expanding rapidly. He reiterated the government’s commitment to making the state self-reliant and a leader—in line with the vision of the movement’s participants—while also providing employment to the youth and curbing migration from the hilly regions. Cabinet Minister Khajan Das and various administrative officials were also present on the occasion.
