Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami made significant strides in fulfilling promises to the people of the state as he distributed Nazul land leases and provided affordable housing allotments during a program held in Rudrapur. A total of 2,600 beneficiaries received Nazul land leases, while 403 individuals were granted ownership letters under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.

Our government worked tirelessly to resolve the Nazul land issue, even taking it to the Supreme Court when faced with opposition. The implementation of the Nazul Policy 2021 and subsequent legislative measures paved the way for the successful distribution of leases, stated Dhami during the event.

He reiterated the government's dedication to simplifying processes for citizens, ensuring officials facilitate all formalities directly at the beneficiaries' doorsteps without any financial burden on them.

Highlighting the government's commitment to inclusive growth, Chief Minister Dhami affirmed, Our administration operates under the principle of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas.'
