Dhami stated on Friday that developing a new Uttarakhand will necessitate a fundamental transformation in work culture.

To achieve the goal, everyone will have to quit their traditional work schedule of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., he added.

"We must shed this mindset and be ready to put in extra hours of work if needed to achieve the objective of building a new Uttarakhand," the chief minister said, adding, "We need to take the pain and move ahead to fulfil our new commitments," he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
