We'll ensure crystal-clear Ganga water, fit for drinking, during Kumbh: Uttarakhand CM | Dehradun News

Uttarakhand CM Trivendra Singh Rawat
DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, in an exclusive conversation with TOI on Wednesday, said that “crystal-clear Ganga water would be the USP” of the Maha Kumbh festival slated to take place in Haridwar.
“Our USP for the Kumbh will be getting pilgrims to experience the crystal-clear water of Ganga river, which would be fit for bathing and drinking. The mesmerising view of Ganga river, clean water and beautiful ghats would be a lifelong cherishing experience for the pilgrims coming for the festival,” the chief minister said.
He added that an amount of around Rs 1,500 crore is being spent on Kumbh-related works in Haridwar. “Majority of the projects are complete whereas some are on the verge of completion. For instance, the flyover at Ranipur is being given finishing touches and it would be dedicated to people by the middle of the month. Covid-19 has delayed our works by around three months. However, I am happy that overcoming all challenges, we have still been successful in completing projects in the stipulated time span,” the CM said.

After almost 10 months, Nepalese government decides to open land border with India | Dehradun News

Pithoragarh: After a gap of almost 10 months, the Nepalese government has decided to open its side of the land border with India. Sources confirmed to TOI that the decision to open the border — which was closed since March 23 last year on account of the Covid-19 pandemic — was taken by the Nepalese cabinet on Thursday. However, the sources added that movement of people across the border hasn’t started yet as the Indian government has not taken any decision so far on opening its side of the border. They added that the Nepalese government has decided that at present, movement of only Indian and Nepalese nationals will be allowed and citizens of other countries will not be permitted to cross the border.

Dehradun: How losing job helped many kickstart dream | Dehradun News

Ishan Agarwal’s barbecue stall atop his Royal Enfield
DEHRADUN: As the sun sets, a Royal Enfield bike gets parked on the corner of the city’s Rajpur road and Ishan Agarwal, 30, starts setting up his little kitchen over a table that he carries behind his bike. A portable stove is soon alight and the smell of frying kebakhs (a kind of kebab from Uzbekistan) fills the air as Agarwal deftly puts together his signature dish of bun-kebakh, available in vegetarian and mutton options.
A former marketing head of an Australian coffee firm based in the Middle East, Agarwal was doing well and earning close to Rs 20 lakh annually when the pandemic led to him losing his job in July last year. Rather than fret over it, he packed his bags, returned to hometown Dehradun and turned the adversity into opportunity by exploring his passion for cooking.
