These include ₹79.87 lakh for completion of the under-construction Mountain Development Building in Sitarganj, Udham Singh Nagar, and ₹20.41 lakh for construction of a shed at the Martyrs’ Memorial in Khatima.
In a push towards heritage conservation and tourism development, the government sanctioned ₹49.86 lakh for construction and beautification of the Nag Devta Temple in Virad village of Dhanaulti, Tehri Garhwal. Another ₹98.59 lakh has been approved for improvement works at Surya Devi Temple in Palaithi Bangar, Devprayag, while ₹35 lakh has been allocated for restoration and beautification of historic buildings in Dantu village of Dharchula, Pithoragarh.
