HM Amit Shah to attend Investment Grounding Ceremony in Uttarakhand today
The high-profile event is scheduled to take place at 1:15 P.M. at Manoj Sarkar Stadium in Rudrapur and is being seen as a major milestone in Uttarakhand's journey towards industrial growth and economic development.
The event marks the next phase of implementation following the success of the Global Investors Summit held earlier.
Major industrialists, business leaders, and representatives from newly-established industries across various sectors are expected to be present at the ceremony.
The participation of HM Shah underscores the central government's focus on boosting investments and strengthening economic infrastructure in the Himalayan state.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami will also be present at the event alongside other senior officials and dignitaries.
CM Dhami emphasised that the state government is now translating the MoUs signed during the Global Investors Summit into action on the ground. 'We are committed to turning investment promises into real projects. These efforts are already creating new employment opportunities for the youth of Uttarakhand,' he said.
According to the Chief Minister, the state government is providing full support to investors, including fast-tracking approvals, ensuring necessary infrastructure, and maintaining a peaceful, industry-friendly environment. He added that Uttarakhand is rapidly emerging as a preferred destination for industries due to its stable governance, skilled workforce, and natural advantages.
The objective of Saturday's event is not only to mark the beginning of key industrial projects but also to send a strong message to national and global investors that Uttarakhand is ready for business.
Alongside the grounding ceremony, the inauguration and foundation stone laying for several development works will also take place, aimed at strengthening the state's economic and civic infrastructure.

Congress chief's 'Vishwaguru's daawat' dig after Amit Shah attacks Gaurav Gogoi over Pakistan visit
Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, speaking during the monsoon session of Parliament, on Tuesday launched a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his visit to Pakistan and accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of hypocrisy in dealing with Pakistan and running a 'factory of lies'. Congress President and Rajya Sabha LoP, Mallikarjun Kharge, during the Monsoon Session, on Parliament premises in New Delhi.(ANI) Addressing the Upper House during a debate on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Kharge said, 'We have always condemned Pakistan. But while we condemn them here, you attend their 'daawats' and hug them. You have a habit of going places uninvited. None of the members present in this House went there. But over there, a friend, a Guru, or perhaps a Vishwaguru showed up…' Also Follow | Parliament Monsoon Session live updates Without naming anyone directly, the Congress leader's remarks appeared to target PM Narendra Modi over his meeting with his then Pakistani counterpart, Nawaz Sharif, during a surprise visit to Lahore in 2015. Kharge's swipe comes shortly after Union home minister Amit Shah lashed out at Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, claiming he visited Pakistan "many times", and urged the leader to visit the border as well to witness the plight of Indian soldiers.

2 satellite phone signals 17 days apart, help from nomads, and a peak named Mahadev – inside the operation that killed 3 Pahalgam terrorists
It was the detection of a signal emitted from a Chinese satellite phone used by the Pahalgam attackers on Saturday – the second time in the last 17 days – that led the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police to them on Mulnar Peak near Lidwas Meadow of Mahadev Peak, a strategically important location in Zabarwan range, Dachigam forests, on the outskirts of Srinagar town. The satellite phone was among various items, including arms, ammunition and explosives, later seized from the slain terrorists, who Home Minister Amit Shah said are the same as the ones who killed 26 civilians on April 22. According to highly placed sources, the men had also used the satellite phone on July 11 in the Baisaran area. Since then, multiple teams of the Army and the police had been looking for them, even during the night, which forced them to keep changing their locations. On Saturday, when security forces and the police detected the satellite phone signal from the Mahadev Peak area, they immediately launched what security agencies would later call Op Mahadev. The signal was tracked to the Dachigam area, which has the nearest human habitation nearly 30 kilometres away at Chak Dara. While Baisaran in Anantnag district and Dachigam forests in Srinagar are nearly 120 kilometres away by road, their distance through the forest is around 40-50 kilometres, with Aru Wildlife Sanctuary falling in between. In a meticulously planned and swift operation, security forces and the police, based on information provided by local nomads about the area, took on the terrorists who were caught unawares, resting under a makeshift tent around 11.30 am Monday, sources said. The ensuing fierce gunfight lasted nearly three hours, and the Army and police managed to kill all three men – top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Suleiman Shah, who had undergone training at LeT's Muridkee terror headquarters, Hamza Afghani and Jibran, all Pakistani nationals. Jibran, sources said, was also involved in the killing of six people working on the construction of Z-Morh tunnel at Gaganeer on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in Ganderbal district in October last year. Fully aware that the terrorists are likely high-value targets, authorities took their time to confirm their identities. For this, they checked with family members of those killed in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley on April 22, as well as two jailed locals – Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar – who allegedly harboured the terrorists at their seasonal dhok at Hill Park area. Shah also detailed how their identities were confirmed: 'Yesterday's operation saw the death of three who killed our citizens… NIA had kept those who helped these terrorists in custody, and they confirmed that these three were the ones who conducted the terror attack in Pahalgam. We didn't believe this either. Cartridges recovered at the site of attack were analysed, and a ballistic report was prepared. Three rifles were recovered yesterday – one M9 American rifle and two AK-47s. These rifles were sent to Chandigarh, and the cartridges were matched. Then, it was fixed that these three rifles were used to kill our people.'

'You visited Pak many times': Shah attacks Gogoi; Congress MP says went before Modi
Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday lashed out at Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, claiming he visited Pakistan "many times", and urged the leader to visit the border as well to witness the plight of Indian soldiers. Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi (R) during a debate on Op Sindoor in Parliament. Reacting to Amit Shah's attack, Gaurav Gogoi said he visited the neighbouring country before Prime Minister Narendra Modi went there "to eat biryani". Participating in the debate on Operation Sindoor in Lok Sabha, Amit Shah heaped praise on India's move, and also hailed the killing of three terrorists who were involved in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Follow LIVE updates on Parliament session. Hitting out at Gaurav Gogoi, Amit Shah said, "They say there are no infiltrators? You have been to Pak many times Gogoi, ever been to the border? Look at the difficulties our soldiers. At 1.42 degrees, they stand on guard in between rivers and mountains." Reacting to Amit Shah's remarks targeting him, Gaurav Gogoi said, "I went to Pakistan before Modi ji went to Pakistan to eat biryani. I don't know why he (Amit Shah) brought that up." "Today was the time to accept the failures of the present government. Instead, they went to the past, and Amit Shah ji wanted to hide his failures behind the valour and the patriotism of the Indian Armed Forces," he added. He also brought up the controversy surrounding the upcoming India vs Pakistan Asia Cup match. "Maybe Amit Shah Ji would have been in a better position to say why BCCI is insisting on an India-Pakistan match. He would have much greater knowledge of why India-Pakistan cricket matches are happening," Gogoi said. A video of Amit Shah criticising Gaurav Gogoi was also tweeted by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who said the Home Minister "reiterated" what he had been saying all along. Sarma has often claimed ties between Gogoi and Pakistan, alleging his wife Elizabeth Colburn's ties to spy agency ISI. He had claimed that Gogoi's British wife had travelled 19 times between India and Pakistan, a charge termed "ridiculous, baseless, insane and nonsense" by the Congress MP.
