Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has issued a strict directive to ensure all urban roads in the state are pothole-free by Diwali. Emphasizing the urgency, CM Pushkar Singh Dhami stated that repair and maintenance of roads in densely populated urban areas will be given top priority.

Following the damage caused by recent adverse weather conditions, the Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has focused on repairing the roads that have become riddled with potholes.

The department has responded swiftly, mobilizing teams to fill potholes and restore critical roadways.
A total of more than 350 roads across Uttarakhand, including both urban and rural areas, have been identified for pothole repair under this campaign.

Special attention is being given to quality control to ensure durable and long-lasting road repairs.
This initiative is expected not only to improve the condition of roads in urban areas but also to enhance overall traffic management and commuter safety. The Public Works Department has estimated that it requires ₹6,300 crore for comprehensive road repairs across the state, of which ₹3,170 crore has already been sanctioned and received.
Through these efforts, the Uttarakhand government under CM Pushkar Singh Dhami is committed to delivering better infrastructure and improved quality of life for its citizens, ensuring that the upcoming festive season is celebrated on safer and smoother roads.
