Governor Listens to Grievances of Ex-Servicemen and Citizens from Remote Areas During Public Interaction Programme

Lok Bhavan Dehradun 11 May, 2026

Hon’ble Governor Lieutenant General Gurmit Singh (Retd.) heard the grievances and suggestions of ex-servicemen, their dependents, and citizens from remote areas during the Public Interaction Programme held at Lok Bhawan on Monday. He assured prompt and effective resolution of their concerns.

During the programme, around twenty individuals from the districts of Uttarkashi, Tehri Garhwal, Pauri Garhwal, Haridwar, and Dehradun presented various issues and suggestions before the Governor. The matters raised primarily related to land disputes, employment opportunities, assistance in village development works, financial support, and other personal and community-related concerns.

The Governor listened to all grievances and suggestions seriously and stated that every case would be addressed in accordance with rules and within the prescribed timeframe. He directed the Grievance Redressal Officer to immediately forward all cases to the concerned district magistrates and departmental officials to ensure timely and effective action.

The Governor stated that the objective of organizing Public Interaction Programmes at Lok Bhawan from time to time is to directly hear the concerns of citizens, especially ex-servicemen, and take sensitive and effective initiatives for their resolution. He emphasized that there should be no unnecessary delay in resolving matters related to public welfare.

On the occasion, several individuals presented copies of their self-authored books to the Governor. Children from Uttarakhand who won medals in the National Federation Cup in Wushu also met the Governor. Congratulating them on their achievements, the Governor extended his best wishes for their bright future and encouraged them to continue excelling in sports.

In addition, medal-winning students of PM Shri Government Girls Inter College, who participated in the Youth Games, also met the Governor and received his blessings. These students won medals in the Under-17 and Under-14 categories in a Kabaddi competition held in Nepal. The Governor congratulated the students on their success and said that daughters today are excelling in every field and bringing pride to the state and the nation.
