Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated 75 rejuvenated railway stations across India, marking a significant step in the nation's railway modernization efforts.

Chief Minister Dhami expressed gratitude to PM Modi and Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, emphasizing that the redeveloped Harrawala Railway Station, adorned with local Aipan art and enhanced facilities, is a source of pride for Uttarakhand. The station's redevelopment, costing around Rs 19 crore, effectively showcases Doon Valley's natural beauty and the state's cultural heritage.
