Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], June 3 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday praised Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and stated that there was no better teacher than him.
Addressing the convocation ceremony of the Graphic Era Deemed University in Dehradun, Dhami stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the state had been working towards becoming a leader in education.
"If you want to learn the art of project management, then there can be no better teacher than Gadkari ji... His speciality is to complete very important projects at a low cost. You have won the hearts of the people by building a network of roads from small villages to remote hilly areas of the state," Dhami stated.
"Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, our state government is working to make Uttarakhand a leader in education, like other regions. Machine learning, AI and big data courses are being conducted in colleges. Scientific research is being promoted in the state," Dhami further added.
Earlier in the day, CM Dhami took major action and suspended two senior Indian Administrative Officers (IAS) officers and a Provincial Civil Service (PCS) officer in the Haridwar land scam, according to an official statement from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO).
A departmental inquiry will be initiated against the suspended officers. A total of 12 officers have been suspended against the officers including District Magistrate (DM) Kamendra Singh, former Municipal Commissioner (MC) Varun Chaudhary and Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ajayveer Singh, the statement said. The scam involves alleged large-scale irregularities in land allocation and transfer.
The decisions taken by the Uttarakhand CM are a sign of decisive change in the administrative culture of the state.
Earlier on May 25, in another move to bring an end to corruption in the state, the Uttarakhand CM directed officials to conduct campaigns against corruption more effectively and submit detailed reports of actions taken so far in cases related to conversion, as per a release. (ANI)
