Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami chaired a Uttarakhand cabinet session outside Dehradun for the first time, marking a historic shift from the capital's usual venue.
The Uttarakhand state cabinet convened at a location outside the capital city of Dehradun on Thursday, with Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami presiding over the session. This is the first instance in the state's history where the cabinet meeting was held away from the traditional venue in Dehradun.
Officials confirmed that the meeting proceeded as per the scheduled agenda, covering routine administrative matters. The decision to shift the venue was announced by the chief minister's office earlier in the day, though specific reasons for the location choice were not detailed in the statement.
Political analysts noted that the move could signal an effort to bring governance closer to peripheral regions, but the government has not commented further. The cabinet concluded the session after the usual deliberations and adjourned without any reported disruptions.
The event was documented by media personnel present at the venue, and photographs of the chief minister chairing the meeting have been circulated widely on social platforms.
