Dehradun: – Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurated a series of development projects in the Kedarpuram area under the Dehradun Municipal Corporation on Wednesday.

He emphasized that the park will soon become a hub for fitness and social activities, supporting the state’s broader vision of holistic well-being.

The Chief Minister reiterated the state’s commitment to establishing Uttarakhand as the global capital of yoga and spirituality.

A major digital governance initiative was also rolled out with the launch of ‘Nigam Sarathi’, an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot.

100,000th Tree Planted Under ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ Campaign

As part of the state’s green initiative, CM Dhami planted a Rudraksha sapling under the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” (One Tree in Mother’s Name) campaign. The sapling marked the 100,000th tree planted in the Dehradun Municipal Corporation area this year, symbolizing the government’s strong focus on environmental sustainability.

Recognition of Civic Workers and Anti-Drug Pledge

During the ceremony, the Chief Minister also honored sanitation champions and tax inspectors for their dedicated service. In recognition of the 5th anniversary of the ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’ (Drug-Free India Campaign), he led attendees in a collective anti-drug pledge and reiterated the state’s zero-tolerance policy against drug abuse.

He shared that over the past three years, more than 4,000 individuals have been arrested in anti-drug operations and narcotics worth ₹203 crore have been seized. Dhami appealed to the youth to completely say “no” to drugs for a better and brighter future.
