'Letters of public are not just papers, but reflection of hope and faith': Uttarakhand CM Dhami
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday emphasised that the letters of the public are not just papers, but reflection of hope and faith.
"Today, after reading some such complaint letters, I talked to the concerned complainants.
Also, I have instructed the officials to take immediate action on them. Solution is the biggest identity of the working style of our government," CM Dhami said.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, while talking to the complainants who sent letters to the Chief Minister's Office and shared their problems, has instructed the officials to take appropriate action on their issues. Karm Chand, a resident of Shergarh in Doiwala tehsil, had lodged a complaint that the irrigation canal coming to his field has broken, due to which there is a crisis of irrigation.
After listening to the entire problem, the Chief Minister directed the Chief Engineer, Irrigation Department, to take appropriate action in the matter.
Similarly, Major Naresh Kumar Sakllodged a complaint about private persons encroaching on his land and building a minor irrigation canal, on which Chief Minister Dhami has directed the District Magistrate Dehradun to take immediate action.
Another complainant, Canal Road resident Dhirendra Shukla, has filed a complaint against the builder for harassment.
The Chief Minister has asked MDDA to investigate the matter. The Chief Minister has also directed the Secretary of the Public Works Department to take action on the road-related complaint of Vikasnagar Dinkar Vihar resident Vishan Dutt Sharma.
Earlier today, the Uttarakhand CM flagged off the Kalash Yatra for the Jalabhishek of the idol of Lord Surya in Kushinagar district from his official residence in Dehradun.
As part of the initiative, water from around 151 sacred rivers across the country is being collected for the Jalabhishek of the Surya idol in Kushinagar. The Kalash Yatra, flagged off by the Chief Minister, includes water gathered from the holy rivers of Uttarakhand.
Mahamandaleshwar 1008 Swami Santoshanand Dev Maharaj, President of the Purvanchal Mahotsav Samiti Vinay Rai, along with other committee members, were present during the flagging-off ceremony.
Earlier on Thursday, in view of the Kanwar Yatra, the Uttarakhand government launched 'Operation Kalanemi' to take action against imposters who are hurting religious sentiments and duping people in the name of 'Sanatan Dharma'.
Chief Minister Dhami said that many such cases have come to light in the state where anti-social elements are cheating people, especially women, by disguising themselves as seers. This, he said, is not only hurting the religious sentiments of the people, but also harming the image of social harmony and Sanatan tradition.
"In such a situation, if a person of any religion is found doing such acts, then strict action will be ensured against him," he added.
The Chief Minister referenced the mythological asura Kalanemi, stating that just like the demon had attempted to mislead by disguising himself as a saint, similarly, many "Kalanemis" are active in society today who are committing crimes in religious guise. Dhami further said that his government is fully committed to protecting public sentiments, the dignity of Sanatan culture and maintaining social harmony.
Those who spread hypocrisy in the name of faith will not be spared under any circumstances, he said.

'Coerced To Name PM Modi, Yogi Adityanath': Pragya Thakur's Big Claim In Malegaon Blast Case
Pragya Thakur, one of the seven accused persons in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case, was arrested in 2008 and granted bail in 2017, till she was acquitted on July 31. Former BJP MP Pragya Thakur, one of the accused persons who was recently acquitted in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, made a stunning claim as she accused investigators of coercing her into naming Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, among others, in the incident. A special NIA court on Thursday acquitted all seven accused, including Thakur, in connection with the 2008 Malegaon blasts, noting that the prosecution had failed to establish the case beyond a reasonable doubt. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had claimed that an explosive-laden motorcycle used in the blasts belonged to Thakur, and she was arrested in 2008. Despite spending nearly nine years in jail, Thakur maintained that she was falsely implicated, framed by the then Congress-led government, and subjected to custodial torture. Thakur said her acquittal was the victory of 'Sanatan Dharma" and Hindutva. 'Coerced To Implicate PM Modi' NDTV. 'They made me name several people, including (senior BJP leader) Ram Madhav. To do all of this, they tortured me." 'I lived in Gujarat, so they also asked me to take Prime Minister Modi's name. I did not take anyone's name because they were attempting to make me lie," Thakur said, adding that she was also asked to take the names of Yogi Aditynath, Mohan Bhagwat and Indresh Kumar. 'They said 'take these names and we won't beat you'," she alleged. Thakur had complained of poor health several times while she was lodged in Mumbai's Byculla Jail, but her bail pleas were repeatedly rejected until 2017. Orders To Arrest Mohan Bhagwat? This sensational claim came on the heels on the allegations made by a former ATS official that he had been ordered to arrest RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in the case. Mehboob Mujawar, a former ATS officer, alleged that senior officers had directed him to detain Bhagwat, but he defied those orders. However, these claims were dismissed by the special NIA court that acquitted the seven persons. The court in its judgement said that it did not find any force in the contentions raised by the advocate for accused Sudhakar Dwivedi. The court dismissed the defense lawyer's argument, citing a statement from ACP Mohan Kulkarni, the then chief investigating officer, who clarified that Mujawar was never instructed to arrest any RSS member. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Originators of saffron terrorism jibe Cong, disgraced: Sadhvi Pragya after acquittal in Malegaon blast case
In her first reaction following the acquittal of all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon Blast case in which 6 people were killed and over a 100 injured, BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, one of the accused, stated that Congress, along with all other non-believers who were the originators of the 'saffron terrorism' tag, have been disgraced. Taking to social media platform X, she wrote: "The Congress, along with all other non-believers, who are the originators of 'saffron terrorism' and 'Hindu terrorism', have been disgraced.. The victory of saffron, Hindutva, and Sanatan has led to the triumph of all Sanatanis and patriots, heartfelt congratulations.... Jai Hindu Rashtra, Jai Shri Ram..." Nearly 17 years after a deadly blast rocked Malegaon in Maharashtra, a special NIA court in Mumbai on Thursday acquitted all seven accused, citing lack of evidence. The verdict marks the closure of a high-profile case that had long been a flashpoint in debates over so-called "saffron terror." The powerful explosion occurred on the night of September 29, 2008, near Bhikku Chowk in Malegaon, a communally-sensitive town approximately 200 kilometres from Mumbai. The blast, which took place during the holy month of Ramzan, killed 6 people and injured more than a 100 others. The court, presided over by Special Judge A.K. Lahoti, stated in its ruling that while the prosecution was able to establish that the bomb blast had occurred, it failed to prove that the explosive device was fitted on the motorcycle allegedly owned by Sadhvi Pragya. The judge specifically noted that the engine number was illegible, and the chassis number had been wiped off, weakening the prosecution's case substantially. The seven accused, including Sadhvi Pragya, were charged under various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including charges of criminal conspiracy, murder, attempt to murder, promoting enmity between groups, and voluntarily causing hurt. The case was originally investigated by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), before being handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2011. Over the years, the investigation and prosecution became mired in controversy, with allegations of political interference and changing narratives. Sadhvi Pragya was arrested in 2008 and later granted bail in 2017. She has consistently maintained her innocence, claiming that she was falsely implicated due to political motives.
