"Journalist Welfare Fund to increase to Rs 10 crore": Uttarakhand CM Dhami

Dehradun: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said that the budget of the Journalist Welfare Fund in the state will be increased from Rs five crore to Rs 10 crore. CM Dhami said that journalists will now be given accreditation by the state government at the tehsil level as well.

After this, many Non-residents have identified villages and presented a roadmap of the work to be done here to the state government.
He also inaugurated the 5-day State Industrial Agriculture Development Fair organized in memory of Veer Shiromani Madho Singh Bhandari at Maletha Tehri Garhwalon Friday. The Chief Minister inspected the departmental stalls and saluted the march past the rally taken out by various schools and NCC cadets on this occasion.
Speaking to ANI, CM Dhami said, "Madho Singh Bhandari was a brave warrior and the coming generations should know about him. The state government is working to fulfil the resolve of Madho Singh Bhandari. The state government is committed to ensuring the development of the state."
