This incident underscores the government's focus on improving the welfare of senior citizens. In line with this commitment, the state has announced plans to launch a comprehensive policy aimed at enhancing the well-being of its elderly population.

As part of these initiatives, the monthly pension amount under various schemes, including the Old Age Pension Scheme, is set to increase from ₹4,000 to ₹6,000. This move is expected to provide greater financial security to senior citizens across Uttarakhand.  

Public Welcomes the Direct Approach

The video has sparked a wave of appreciation, with citizens calling the move “refreshing,” “transparent,” and “people-centric.” Many social media users hailed CM Dhami for “breaking the bureaucracy barrier” and talking to citizens one-on-one.

One user commented, “It feels so reassuring when the CM himself checks if things are working. This shows true leadership.”

A Message of Accountability

In his brief conversations, Dhami also urged citizens to report delays or problems they face in receiving government benefits. He emphasized that his doors — and phone lines — are always open to the people of Uttarakhand.
