This statement comes amid growing unrest following allegations of malpractice in a recruitment exam conducted by the Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC).

Speaking to the media after attending a government programme, Mr. Dhami addressed criticism regarding his personal visit to the protest site, saying, “The youth are the backbone of the state. If they are raising genuine concerns under the scorching sun, it is my duty to listen.”
Direct Dialogue with Protesters Results in Swift Government Action
Mr. Dhami acknowledged that there had initially been a communication gap between the state administration and the protestors.

The move has been praised by many as a sign of responsive governance and administrative transparency.
