What's Going On at Janki Setu, Rishikesh?

This video appears to show a man dressed in saffron robes allegedly offering ₹1,000–₹1,200 & a bicycle to girls and asking them to accompany him to a secluded area. If these allegations are true, this is deeply disturbing and should be investigated immediately. Religious attire must never be used to exploit or target anyone.

After Ayodhya Ram temple, serious accusations of donation theft coming from Badrinath Dham.

PeeJP is sitting silently like Dhritrashtra letting Hindutva goons loot the money in the name of God.

उत्तराखंड में आ रहा 'टॉप क्वालिटी टूरिज्म' की एक झलक, नैनीताल 📍से : फुटपाथ पर सो जाइए, घर से खाना पैक करके लाइए,और शहर-गांव में कूड़ा छोड़कर लौट जाइए। अब सवाल यह है कि ऐसे पर्यटन से उत्तराखंड को आखिर लाभ किसे और कितना मिल रहा है? क्या इस तरह का पर्यटन स्थानीय व्यापार, पर्यावरण और संसाधनों पर बोझ नह

UTU COUNSELLING HELP

Hey there ,

I am a 1st year (2nd sem)Btech student at one of the non autonomous colleges under UTU (Uttarakhand Technical University)

I am writing this to help those in the counselling process rn to make a better decision and not join any shit ass college here :

  1. For a General male with a rank >2L , I would advise you to either choose a branch other than CSE or just join a private college .

This is because these govt colleges are soo done, and so if you aren't getting a very good branch in GBPIET/Pantnagar, I would say it's better to compromise with the branch, because the rest of the colleges are there are not worth it.

Why ? : No placements, zero technical exposure and more so you would constantly be under the mismanagement of UTU , for eg : we have yet not received our 1st sem results which happened about 5 months ago, so in every way the autonomous colleges will serve you better .

  1. And now that you have only the Spot round remaining for the counselling , I would advise you all to rethink your college choice because later you won't be able to make a change . Once you get into a college there is no policy of shifting to a different college.

  2. Things to keep in mind for the spot round :

a) The college you get allotted here is the full and final , you don't get any option to float so if say you got Pantnagar mechanical in round 3 and Pantnagar civill in spot , the mechanical seat will be automatically deleted and you will have to JOIN civil in Pantnagar else sit in spot round 2 and pray .

b) Check the seat matrix before filling the choices ,because most of the seats would have been filled by now in the 2 good colleges that we have here , other than that you can get a seat in the rest of the colleges .

Other than this, if you want any help from my side ,just comment or DM me and I would be happy to help .

Why can't we vote for leaders who are obsessed with solving Uttarakhand's real problems instead of just winning elections?

I've been thinking about the 2027 Uttarakhand elections, and one question keeps bothering me.

Why does every election become about party loyalty, religion, caste, or attacking the opposition, while the issues we deal with every single day barely get serious attention?

People in Uttarakhand aren't asking for miracles.

We want better roads that don't get washed away every monsoon. Hospitals where people don't have to travel hundreds of kilometres for treatment. Jobs so young people don't have to leave the state. Clean tourist towns instead of garbage everywhere. Reliable drinking water, better public transport, forest fire prevention, and government offices where work gets done without unnecessary delays.

None of these problems are impossible to improve in 4-5 years if there is genuine intent and accountability.

So why don't we, as voters, demand measurable promises instead of emotional speeches?

Imagine if every candidate had to publicly commit to things like:

Road quality targets

Number of doctors recruited

Reduction in corruption complaints

Employment generation

Waste management improvements

Quarterly public progress reports

And if they failed without valid reasons, people simply voted them out next time.

Why don't we make accountability the biggest election issue?

I'm not supporting or opposing any political party here. I genuinely want to understand why we rarely vote based on governance and measurable performance.

Do you think voters are ready for this kind of politics, or are we still too divided by identity and party loyalty? I'd love to hear different perspectives.

Pahadis can meet the similar fate as Kashmiri Pandits. Listen what Ashish Negi is saying.

The way I see things Pahadi community is being systematically driven out of hills. Mostly it's due to the lack of education and health facilities. But with time slew of incoming projects has posed a huge threat to locals. BJP is engaging in mindless 'development' which will show its consequence in future. The political weakening of Pahadis with time is another huge concern. Police and administration isn't with us we all have known now clearly with the recent Nihang case.

Kalesh b/w woman and man over molestation allegations. 📍Haldwani

Our Uttarakhand wasn't like this five years ago. I don't know why cases like this have increased. It's really heartbreaking.💔

हल्द्वानी (सुभाष नगर ) : सिख समुदाय के लोगों ने जबरन समार्ट मीटर लगा रहे विभाग के लोगों को भगाया और समार्ट मीटर भी तोड़ डाले ।

जब यूनियन मिनीस्टर ने आधिकारिक रूप से कहा है कि स्मार्ट मीटर वैकल्पिक (Optional) हैं और इन्हें उपभोक्ता की सहमति के बिना उस पर जबरन नहीं थोपा जा सकता। फिर आखिर क्यों कई जगह लोगों के यहाँ उनकी इच्छा के विरुद्ध स्मार्ट मीटर लगाए जा रहे थे? यह सवाल उठना स्वाभाविक है।

What is going on in Tapovan, Rishikesh?

They are discharging untreated sewage directly into the river. It's heartbreaking to see. If this is true, the authorities should investigate it immediately and ensure the sewage is properly treated before being released.

Someshwar Temple (Osla, Uttarkashi)

Recently visited Har ki Dun valley and was amazed to find that people here worship Karan as their local Deity and a temple dedicated to Mahabharat's Duryodhan. Even the culture here was not predominantly Uttrakhandi but more influenced by Himachal Pradesh. Even the local language wasn't the Garhwali I know and have heard as I was expecting ( mix of Himachali+Nepali+Garhwali)

Big respect for Rung community who opposed installation of statue in om parvat by tourists from UP Bihar rajasthan Gujrat

Rung community opposed installation of statues in om parvat. Big respect for them to save their local culture. This trust made by non natives. They already installed statue in adi kailash route which got unnoticed.

As Rung community leader said first they put statue, then donation box , then temple , then whole business start in name of religion. Why put these statue there when you have big mountain which get worshipped.

Non-natives coming from plains, and doing this in our mountains. Imposing their culture here and calling natives anti-hindu for opposing them.

Again kudos to Rung community. Hope they always take this stand. This is start, in future they will have to face such things day by day when om parvat, Adi Kailash get more popular. Their are so many religious vultures.

Non - natives Hindus need to understand every place has their distinct culture. You should respect it. Don't try to impose your culture everywhere. You can practice your culture in your place and let natives of land practice their culture.

Wish mountain communities take stand in saving their culture, mountains. We seeing how traditions, culture of these famous temples who visited by lakhs of tourists changing day by day.
