Mr. Pushkar Singh Dhami DEHRADUN: On the occasion of the completion of four years of the Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami 's completing four years, chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami spoke about the several achievements of his government, including the revision of the state's land law that restricts the sale of agricultural and horticulture in 11 districts. Of the 13 districts in Uttarakhand, Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar districts have been exempted from the stringent amendments to the land law. Speaking to ANI, Dhami said that these stringent amendments to Uttarakhand's land law were in line with public sentiment. He added that the state government has introduced various legislation, including the anti-cheating law, which has become a model for the entire nation. "People had long-standing expectations about the land law. We have also implemented it. Be it anti-riot law, anti-conversion law to prevent religious conversion, or an encroachment removal campaign, in which we have so far cleared more than 6,500 acres of land from encroachment. The anti-cheating law has become a model for the entire country," Dhami said. Highlighting the efforts of the Uttarakhand government in combating corruption, CM Dhami said that his government has taken action against those who have engaged in corruption regardless of their "position". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo "Apart from this, we have taken major action against corruption. Earlier, people used to say that small fish are being caught, and big fish are being released. Today, along with small fish, big fish are also being caught. Those who are the crocodiles of corruption are also not being spared, regardless of their position," the CM said. In February, the state legislative assembly passed the Uttarakhand (Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Destruction and Land Reforms Act, 1950) (Amendment) Bill, 2025. At that time, Dhami had stated that the state government laid the foundation for land reforms in accordance with public sentiment. Work will be done continuously on land management and land reforms in future as well. The Uttarakhand government has remained committed to protecting the state's resources and lands from land mafias. The purpose for which people have bought land was not used but misused, Dhami said. The chief minister said that permission for purchase for agricultural and industrial purposes in the state was given at the collector level. "It has now been abolished in 11 districts, and provision has been made to take decisions at the state government level only in Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar. The land transfer of more than 12.5 acres in the approved limit in favour of any person has been abolished in 11 districts and will be decided at the state government level only in Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar districts," CM Dhami said. He further added that an affidavit has been made mandatory for purchasing 250 square meters of land for residential projects. "If the affidavit is found to be false, the land will be vested in the state government. Permission to purchase the thrust sector and notified Khasra number land under micro, small and medium industries, which was given at the collector level, will now be given at the state government level," he said. The chief minister stated that many significant changes have been introduced in the new law. He said that the government had also taken views from stakeholders in Gairsain. "In these new provisions, the views of the people of the state have been taken, and suggestions have also been taken from everyone. Suggestions were also taken from the people in their districts at the District Magistrates and Tehsil levels of all the districts. This law has been made on the request of suggestions from everyone," he further said. The amendment covers land purchases outside municipal limits and excludes Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar districts. Another major change is that land bought for tourism, industry, and educational facilities will have a ceiling of 12.5 acres in the 11 districts. In the remaining two districts, permission can be sought to purchase more land.

CM Dhami highlighted the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), the promise it made to the people. "UCC was the resolution of our election. We implemented the UCC within the state.

Earlier on May 3, after its implementation, CM Dhami had lauded how the law had freed muslim women from "social evils." "UCC has freed Muslim sisters from social evils. Now all women will get justice in inheritance and property rights as well," CM Dhami had said during his speech.

Delhi end-of-life vehicles policy gets big local backing, residents say decision good for pollution control
Delhi vehicle owners have supported the policy restricting fuel supply to end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), calling it a positive step towards pollution control. The development comes as the Delhi government has written to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), seeking a hold on the directive banning fuel sale to ELVs in the national capital. Speaking to ANI, a vehicle owner said, "I bought a Scotty in 2017. The decision (not to give fuel to end-of-life vehicles) was wrong for those who cannot afford to buy a new vehicle. When I see a vehicle emitting pollution, I tell them to get their pollution certificate made, because we have to suffer because of them. So this decision of the government is good." Another vehicle owner told ANI, "The steps the government is taking for Delhi are good. Pollution caused by vehicles is high, so the steps being taken are good. If the vehicle is old, then it is the responsibility of the citizens to come forward. Similar steps should be taken in all metro cities..." Following the reactions, the Delhi NCT government formally approached the Commission, urging it to pause the enforcement. In a letter to the Commission, Delhi Minister for Environment, Forests, and Wildlife, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, wrote that soon after the implementation of the direction, which came into effect on July 1, 2025, it was revealed that "certain issues" needed to be addressed before they could be fully implemented. Live Events Under the Delhi government's policy, petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years are now denied refuelling at fuel stations in the city. "The Government of Delhi is fully aligned with the Commission's objective to phase out older, polluting vehicles and has implemented a comprehensive Air Pollution Mitigation Plan 2025 to this end," the Minister wrote in his letter. "The GNCTD has been complying with the directions of Hon'ble NGT and Hon'ble Supreme Court regarding implementing a ban on EOL vehicles, deregistering them and ensuring that they do not ply on Delhi roads," the letter read. Many end-of-life vehicles have been denied fuel at fuel stations after being identified by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). The Minister said because of "several critical operational and infrastructural challenges", it will not be feasible to implement it at this juncture. He argued that immediate implementation may be "premature and potentially counterproductive." "A stage-wise implementation that begins only in Delhi will not serve its intended purpose. It is highly likely to lead to vehicle owners procuring fuel from adjacent districts like Gurugram, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad, thereby circumventing the ban and potentially fostering an illegal cross-border market for fuel, which would further exacerbate the problem," the Minister's letter read. "ANPR system is not implemented in the neighbouring states, which will again be an issue in the effective integration of the system with the system of neighbouring states, as and when the same is implemented. So far as our knowledge is concerned, neighbouring districts have not yet started installation of ANPR cameras in the fuel stations," the letter added. Meanwhile, the opposition lashed out at the BJP-led administration over the decision. Delhi Assembly Leader of Opposition and AAP leader Atishi criticised the inconsistency in the policy rollout. "Is the BJP running a government in Delhi or Phulera's panchayat? One day they make a decision, the next day they say the decision is not right. On the third day, they write letters," she said. She added, "If the decision is not right, why did you take it? And why aren't you taking it back? Why are you playing this letter game? The BJP has a four-engine government in Delhi; if they had wanted to, they could have immediately withdrawn the decision, but they haven't done so yet because the BJP is reportedly in cahoots with car manufacturers, car scrappers, and car dealers. We asked the BJP a question that remains unanswered: How much did the BJP receive in donations from car manufacturers and sellers over the last five years? Removing vehicles after 10 years is a completely absurd, illogical, and baseless decision." Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
