Chardham highway project will cater to needs and provide employment to the state’s youth: PM
We are electrifying India's villages in mission mode that lived in darkness for decades: PM
We addressed concerns of ex-servicemen regarding OROP. This has helped our jawans widely: PM

 

While addressing a Parivartan rally at Dehradun in Uttarakhand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Uttarakhand can no longer wait for development. Shri Modi launched the Chardham highway development project and said that it is a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives in Kedarnath tragedy. The Prime Minister said the new project will improve connectivity to the Chardham pilgrimage centres.

Shri Modi mentioned that facilities for pilgrims at Chardham Yatra centres were not adequate and due to that several devotees were unable to travel. “Hurried conception of schemes may be able to give short term political gains but the gains for people will be limited”, remarked PM Modi.

Shri Narendra Modi stated that the Chardham Yartra Project will not only add to the region’s development but also cater to needs and provide employment to the state’s youth.

The Prime Minister highlighted how the Centre has taken the work of electrifying India’s villages in mission mode. “Over 18 thousand villages lived in darkness for several decades but have taken up the task to electrify them. We want to energise the lives in rural areas”, said Shri Modi. He also shed light on Ujjwala Yojana aimed at providing five crore LPG connections for the poor in three years.

Prime Minister Modi said that Uttarakhand is the land of the courageous. “For over 40 years the ex-servicemen battled for One Rank One Pension but previous governments never paid attention to their needs, they allotted Rs. 500 crore when the polls were approaching. But in reality, the budget for OROP is over Rs. 10,000 crore. After we came to power, we took note of their concerns and implemented One Rank One pension scheme. This has widely benefited our jawans”, said the PM.

PM Modi said that corruption must be eliminated at levels. He added further, “We have initiated a step to end corruption. Bribes were taken from candidates at interviews to offer jobs. We have undertaken strict measures and eliminated interviews for class III and class IV jobs.”

Prime Minister Modi said that the corrupt will be punished and it is now happening. The PM added, “People of the country despite facing certain inconveniences have fought against corruption and black money. Ours is an endeavour to strengthen the hands of the honest and law abiding citizen of India.”

Several party karyakartas and Union Ministers attended the event.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 52nd meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform aimed at fostering Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, by seamlessly integrating efforts of the Central and State Governments, earlier today at Seva Teerth.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed four critical infrastructure projects across the Road, Power, Industrial Corridor and Metro Rail sectors, covering four States and costing around ₹30,000 crore. These projects, important for economic growth, regional connectivity, industrial development and public welfare, were reviewed with focus on timelines, inter-agency coordination, issue resolution and timely completion.

Prime Minister underlined that delays in infrastructure projects not only lead to cost escalation, but also deprive people and industries of timely benefits. He asked the concerned Ministries and State Governments to resolve pending issues in a mission-mode manner and ensure close monitoring at the highest level.

Prime Minister emphasised the use of PM GatiShakti National Master Plan for efficient planning and timely implementation of infrastructure projects. He also underlined the need for regular and timely updation of project details, utilities, infrastructure layers, clearances and other field-level information on the portal. He further emphasised that the platform must reflect the latest ground situation so that bottlenecks can be identified in advance, inter-agency coordination can be improved and decisions can be taken on the basis of reliable, real-time data.

Prime Minister reviewed TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan and emphasised the need to leverage latest digital technologies including Artificial Intelligence. He suggested a team of NCC cadets and MY Bharat volunteers, for awareness, patient follow-up and community mobilisation.

Prime Minister also reviewed grievances related to Cyber Crime and Digital Arrest. He expressed concern over the rising misuse of digital platforms to defraud citizens and stressed that such matters require coordinated, sensitive and time-bound handling by all concerned agencies. He noted that citizens should not be made to run from one department or agency to another. He also emphasized the need for clear ownership, faster response, better coordination among law enforcement agencies, banks and digital platforms, and stronger public awareness campaigns.

Prime Minister observed that in cases involving cyber fraud, timely action is crucial to prevent financial loss and restore public confidence. He asked all stakeholders to work in close coordination to strengthen prevention, reporting, investigation and grievance redressal mechanisms. He also emphasised that States should work towards enabling e-Zero FIR mechanisms for faster registration and response in cyber fraud cases.
