The State Government will leave no stone unturned in its effort to facilitate fruition of the dreams of martyrs of Uttarakhand, said Cabinet Minister Satpal Maharaj, after paying his tributes at the martyrs memorial in the provisional State capital on Sunday. He further averred that the State Government under Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat would work in close coordination with the Central Government to facilitate the desired level of development in the State.
Arriving at the martyrs memorial in the Kacheri compound in provisional State capital Dehradun at 10 am on Sunday, the Cabinet Minister paid homage to those who lost their lives in the Statehood movement.
Maharaj said, “Under the leadership of Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, the State Government will establish coordination with the Central Government to speed up execution of development works and will also play an important role in mitigating the problem of migration. The attempt of the State Government will be to control expenditures while increasing the State’s income. World class accommodations for tourists will be constructed in the state to provide a further boost to the tourism in the State. The State is now linked to a double engine so the pace of development is also going to increase in the State,” averred the cabinet minister. Maharaj further said that the planned Rishikesh-Karnprayag rail line will bring about drastic change in the State, helping it achieve new heights. He said, “Prime minister Narendra Modi has approved fund for the all weather road construction in Uttarakhand. This major project will play a vital role in further developing tourism, pilgrimage and industry in the State while also help mitigate the migration from the mountains and generate employment.
Our attempt will be to remove the various anomalies, merge the Garhwal and Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigams, and the Peyjal Nigam with Jal Sansthan while exerting control on unnecessary expenditure to lay foundation for development in the state in accordance with the dreams of the statehood martyrs,” he said.
