The responsibility of public representatives is not only to remain in power, but the real responsibility is to serve the public – CM Dhami
Matri Shakti is the biggest strength of the state, women have the biggest role in making Uttarakhand a leading state – CM
CM Dhami has advised the public representatives of all the municipal bodies of the state not to see their role only as a “post”, Rather, adopt it as a mission of public service. Everyone has to ensure that the benefits of the schemes and works being run by our “triple engine” government reach the person standing at the last end of the society. All of you should develop your respective body office not only as an administrative unit, but also as a ‘service center’, where every citizen can come with full confidence without hesitation. All of you should make transparency, accountability and honesty the basic mantra of your working style. You should regularly monitor especially those works in which there is a high possibility of corruption because your vigilance at the administrative level can become the biggest guarantee of good governance. Adopt a zero tolerance policy towards corruption and give a clear message to your subordinate officers and employees that corrupt practices will not be tolerated at any level. I believe that our responsibility is not only to remain in power, but our real responsibility is to serve the public.

Along with this, we will also have to work with priority towards environmental protection.
Special request of CM Dhami to urban government

I want to assure you that our government is fully committed to provide all possible assistance to the municipal bodies. Respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has taken India to new heights of development and prosperity by following the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas”.

Urban infrastructure such as water supply, sewerage and green spaces have been strengthened through the Amrit Yojana. An attempt is being made to present a model of ideal city development by combining urban development with technology and civic amenities through the Smart City Mission.
