The Secretary, Chief Minister/Secretary in charge of the district have been directed to study and submit a report in a week that which are the divisional level offices, whose office is established or should be established in Bhavan Pauri and if they are being operated from the capital Dehradun or elsewhere and not from the divisional office.
Pauri is a divisional headquarters of Garhwal division and has an administrative value historically but with the passage of time, the tradition of divisional level offices being operated from Dehradun or other places started, due to which the importance of Pauri divisional headquarters started decreasing.
