Dehradun, 1 Dec: District General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Rishikesh unit, Prateek Kaliya today called on Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to discuss pressing issues affecting the Rishikesh Assembly constituency. During the meeting, Kaliya also submitted a memorandum outlining key concerns and urged immediate intervention.
Kaliya emphasised urgent requirement for an independent Police Station to serve the eight village councils in the Shyampur area. He explained that such a facility would not only strengthen the security framework but also ensure prompt assistance to residents in times of need. He claimed that the demand of the local people in this regard is critical for maintaining law and order and addressing the growing needs of the local population.
The memorandum further draws attention of the CM to the persistent traffic congestion at the Prateetnagar railway level crossing in Raiwala, which has long been a source of inconvenience for the public. Kaliya stressed that the frequent traffic jams not only trouble commuters but also disrupt the functioning of the nearby Cantonment Zone, thereby affecting both civilian and defence activities.
District Vice President of the BJP Ganesh Rawat, District Treasurer Rahul Aggarwal and Prateetnagar Village Pradhan Rajesh Juglan were also present during the meeting, lending support to the concerns raised. The CM is reported to have taken the issues seriously and has reportedly responded positively and assured the leaders that necessary steps would be initiated at the earliest to resolve these issues.
