ABP Ganga Maha Adhiveshan Dehradun: Uttarakhand cabinet minister Bishan Singh Chuphal on Friday thanked PM Narendra Modi for creating a separate ministry to address issues related to drinking water.


He said "Our target is to ensure that every house in Uttarakhand has tapped supply to clean drinking water by 2023. By 2023, every family in Haridwar and Rishikesh will also have sewer connections. There will be no family living without a proper sewage line".

"Pushkar Singh Dhami has worked as an MLA as well as in senior positions in the party. At the party, he was associated with Yuva Morcha. The public of Uttarakhand, as well as BJP, would benefit from this vision," Chuphal said.


"The next election will be fought under the leadership of CM Dhami. A lot of enthusiasm is being observed among the youth of the state regarding this election. We are going to integrate the party's ideology among the public," he added claiming that the BJP would win the assembly elections.


Plans being made for villages close to the border- Chuphal
Chuphal further said that the people of India would be safe only if the border is safe. Late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the first one to have a vision for the villages along the border. He had prepared a plan for developing the border areas. No one paid heed to this before him. As a result, migration from the border villages has reduced.
