Gorkhali society is full of energy and its members play a pivotal role in the protection of our national boundaries, said the Chief Minister Harish Rawat, while addressing a Gorkhali congregation at Martyr Durga Mall park in Dehradun on Sunday.
Grabbing the attention of Nepalese ambassador Krishna Prasad Dhakal, CM said, “We take pride in Nepali tradition like we feel for Uttarakhand’s traditions. Both cultures are complementary to each other. It seems nature has mad Indians and Nepalis in similar frame. Both India and Nepal are having similar problems. Being a union cabinet minister I had executed several flood control projects that benefitted both Bihar in India and Nepal. When both countries would start using their water resources judiciously then they would become prosperous countries of the world.”
He also appreciated Nepal for giving its consent for the construction of Pancheshwar dam because both countries will be benefitted with this project. To make both countries relation more strong World Gorkha foundation’s effort is commendable. Gorkha community is an ornament of our tradition of bravery.
Following the demand of separate building for Gorkha community, CM said that a proposal should be sent to the government which would consider the request.
Other dignitaries including lt Gen RS Pradhan, Nepal MP Dilman Pakhrin, Uma Upadhyaya, Maj BP Thapa, Col HS Chhetri, Updendra Thapli and other members of the Gorkha community were present on the occasion.
