Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami conducted an aerial survey of the ongoing construction work at the multi-purpose Jamrani Dam project, located in the Nainital district on Friday. Following the inspection, the Chief Minister provided an update and expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for revitalising this significant project, which had remained stalled for over six decades.

Speaking to ANI after his aerial review, Chief Minister Dhami conveyed his thanks on behalf of the people of Uttarakhand. He noted the project’s long-standing delay, stating, "First of all, I would like to thank PM Modi on behalf of the people of Uttarakhand that this project was long pending for more than 6 decades now... A lot of time went by, and governments came and went, but the work didn’t begin."

He further stated that under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the project has now received approval and is actively underway. A completion target has been set for 2029, and Chief Minister Dhami affirmed that it is the government’s earnest endeavour to ensure the project is finished within this stipulated timeframe.
