Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], September 21: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced that the Uttarakhand government will offer a 50 percent subsidy on electricity bills for consumers using up to 100 units per month. In the high Himalayan regions, this limit will be extended to 200 units.
Dhami stated that the Uttarakhand government is committed to providing economic security to the weaker sections of society. He also spoke about the recently passed anti-riot law, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace in the state. Dhami said, “In the last session of the Assembly, the anti-riot law was passed.

There is no place for riots, arson, and such vandalism here.”
Regarding a recent appointment letter distribution program, Dhami expressed his commitment to filling government vacancies. “It was our resolution from the first day that we will fill all the government vacancies, and in the last three years, more than 17 thousand appointments have been made,” he said. “All recruitment examinations are being conducted transparently and fairly, without cheating and this campaign of ours is going to continue in the coming times as well,” he added.
