Speaking to media persons here today after arriving in New Delhi, Dhami claimed that a much larger target of attracting investment to the tune of Rs 2.5 lakh crore has been fixed through the upcoming investors summit. He said that he will be meeting Industry captains regarding MoUs and investment in Uttarakhand and regarding setting up units in the state.
The CM added that many investment proposals have been received by the state government. He claimed that it seems that a large number of big industrial groups are seriously considering setting up units here. He said that he will be holding a meeting with the organisations of the industries that are based in Delhi during his current tour. The CM further added that he will also be meeting several union ministers to pursue various proposals submitted to the centre by the state.
Speaking about the disasters that have happened in the state during the current monsoon season, Dhami added that there has been lot of destruction due to excessive rains in the state. There has been loss of human and animal life in the disasters. A large number of roads have been totally or partially damaged due to rains and landslides. There has been a huge loss of crops during the monsoon period.
