Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], September 16 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday dedicated himself to disaster management efforts across the state right from the morning on the occasion of his 50th birthday, according to CMO press release.

The Chief Minister inspected disaster-affected areas early in the day and issued necessary directions to officials for prompt relief and rescue operations.

Later, from the Chief Minister’s residence, he also virtually joined the Tehsil Diwas programs being held across the state and interacted with citizens.

The Chief Minister emphasised that Tehsil Diwas is a strong platform for addressing public concerns, and the government is committed to ensuring that every complaint is resolved within the stipulated time.
