Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurates "Vigilance - Our Shared Responsibility" Awareness Campaign

This awareness campaign will be conducted across the state through various mediums till the State Foundation Day on November 9.

Following its inauguration at the State Secretariat in Dehradun, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami interacted with the media.

During his interaction, Dhami emphasised that he has requested all government officials to ensure there is no corruption and to maintain transparency in their work.

While discussing the campaign, Dhami said that any investigations into corruption that have begun will continue. The goal of this campaign is to ensure that no individual in the state faces inconvenience in completing their work.

"Today, the campaign 'Vigilance - Our Shared Responsibility' has begun. All government officials have been requested that, in no circumstances, corruption should take place, there should be transparency in the work, and there should be no compromise with corruption. This message should reach the bottom. The campaign has started, and whatever investigations have been done, it will continue. In the mission, the whole state should be transparent, help people, and ensure people don't face inconvenience in getting their work done. Whoever indulges in corruption and displays carelessness, that individual won't be spared," said CM Dhami.

Meanwhile, on the occasion of Uttarakhand completing 25 years of its formation, the state government has announced the implementation of a "Green Cess". This cess will be levied on vehicles entering the state from other parts of the country, the Chief Minister's Office said in a press release.

The revenue collected will be utilised for air pollution control, green infrastructure development, and smart traffic management systems. According to the state government, this initiative will mark a new milestone in making Uttarakhand synonymous with "Clean Air - Healthy Life."

CM Dhami stated, "As Uttarakhand completes 25 years, our commitment is to make the state clean, green, and pollution-free. The revenue generated through the 'Green Cess' will be used to improve air quality, enhance green infrastructure, and strengthen smart traffic management." (ANI)
