Energy corporation personnel honour CM Dhami at 'Abhinandan' programme in Dehradun

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami was honoured at a 'Welcome and Abhinandan' event organized by Energy Corporation staff on Thursday at Mukhya Sevak Sadan in Dehradun.

During his address, CM Dhami thanked the employees for their support and shared updates on government initiatives. "As per your long-standing demands, we have implemented the system of timely pay scales and have also resumed the provision for initial increments upon fresh recruitment," the Chief Minister stated.

He highlighted the state government's commitment to employee welfare, continuous improvement of working conditions, and encouraging efficiency.

Earlier, on Wednesday, CM Dhami, alongside Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, attended the breakthrough ceremony of Tunnel T-8, part of India’s longest rail tunnel in the Rishikesh-Karnprayag rail project. T

his milestone was achieved by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) as part of the 125 km broad-gauge project. The tunnel spans 105 km, featuring 16 tunnels from Rishikesh to Karnprayag.

CM Dhami described the project as a historic development for Uttarakhand. "The Rishikesh-Karnprayag Rail Project will play an important role in connecting the remote mountain areas of the state with the rest of the country. It will not only make transportation easier for the local people but will also give a new impetus to tourism, business, and economic activities in the region," he explained.

He also praised the infrastructure advancements made under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, noting, "This tunnel from Devprayag-Sod to Srinagar Janasu is a major achievement from a technical point of view, and it shows that despite difficult geographical conditions, we can successfully carry out development works."
