Uttarakhand CM plants tree on PM Modi's birthday

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday planted a tree at his official residence here to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday.

During the planting, Dhami said Modi had given the country a distinct identity in the world because of his style of functioning.

''The country is progressing on all fronts under his strong-willed leadership,'' he said.

The development of Uttarakhand has also assumed new dimensions under his leadership, he said, adding that Kedarnath is being redeveloped into a world-class religious destination and work is also underway on Badrinath reconstruction projects.

Cabinet Minister Dhan Singh Rawat, Dehradun Mayor Sunil Uniyal Gama, and MLA Khajan Das also planted trees at the CM's residence on the occasion.
