Uttarakhand will be free of drugs and corruption by 2025: Pushkar Singh Dhami

Dehradun: Uttarakhand will be free of corruption and drugs by 2025, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said on Wednesday.

He was addressing a programme organised here on good, transparent and corruption-free governance.

"We have taken a pledge to make Uttarakhand corruption- and drug-free by 2025," Dhami said.

Around 5,000 corruption-related complaints have been received on the '1064 app' since its launch, the chief minister said.

Public complaints are being redressed in a time-bound manner, he added.

The state vigilance department will be further strengthened, and a revolving fund of Rs 2 crore for it will be created, Dhami said.

Vigilance department employees who perform well will be rewarded, he said.

The chief minister honoured four 'whistleblowers' on the occasion.
