Dehradun, 9 Dec: Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Ganesh Joshi reached the State Park on New Cantt Road here on Friday. The officials were surprised to see the minister who reached the spot without prior information.
During the surprise inspection, Minister Joshi received information about an absentee employee from the officials present on the spot.
