Prime Minister Narendra Modi will fly to De Dehradun on Sunday to kick off Uttarakhand’s 25‑year anniversary and open a series of new development plans that together cost more than ₹8,140 crore.
On X, Modi announced, “We are fully committed to developing and enriching Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. Tomorrow, on November 9, I will join the silver‑jubilee celebrations of the state’s formation.” He added that he would start the day at 12:30 p.m. in De Dehradun by unveiling foundation stones for projects in education, irrigation, sports and more, and by announcing a new postage stamp to mark the milestone.
