Uttarakhand CM Dhami Orders Road To Remote Chamoli Village Within 3 Months After Villagers’ ‘Shramdaan’

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has directed officials to complete the construction of a road in Chamoli’s Sakand village within three months. The move comes after villagers undertook ‘shramdaan’ (voluntary labour) to protest the lack of road connectivity, following which a team of officials began the process.

Taking note of the villagers’ concerns, Dhami directed the concerned District Magistrate to take immediate action. He also asked all relevant departments to coordinate closely and expedite the process, with instructions to complete the road construction within three months.

CM on Rural Development Priorities

Dhami said that ensuring development in villages and providing basic facilities to residents of remote areas are among the state government’s key priorities. He emphasised that the administration should work with sensitivity and urgency so that people in remote areas do not face difficulties in accessing essential facilities, including roads, healthcare and education.

The Chief Minister said the government’s aim is not only to prepare schemes but also to ensure that development works reach people at the grassroots level.

Officials Inspect Site

Following Dhami’s directions, a joint team of officials from the Revenue, Forest and Public Works departments visited Sakand village on Wednesday, inspected the site and started the process related to road construction. The officials assured villagers that necessary action would be taken on priority and the work process would be completed within the stipulated three-month period.

Villagers Welcome Swift Action

Village head Shivani Chaudhary thanked Chief Minister Dhami for his prompt intervention and said that the administration had immediately responded after the issue was brought to the Chief Minister’s notice.

She said the joint team from the Revenue, Forest, and Public Works departments visited the village and assured residents of timely action. She also expressed gratitude to the state government and district administration for addressing the villagers’ concerns.
