Dear Friends,
How uselessness is the existence of such type of Committee which is
giving it's report in 7 years by which time an era (YUG) can be
considered to be over. Now, can someone imagine how much time the
government as well as our CM will take to finalise the place who has
proudly forwarded the report to the Chief Secretary who will be more
than honest to consume how much time he knows or god knows but we
people of hill will never know the time frame. In todays worlds,
everbody will appreciate that it is necessary to strictly keep time
frame for completing any report whatsoever.
Practically, Gairsain is the best place to do justice with the
remote areas as well as the complete state of UK but I am really
unable to understand how the committe has recommended Rishikesh and
RamNagar. If these two places are OK then what is the problem in
Dehradun. Why not PAURI which is also one of the midest place of our
state.
Thanks
balwant

However on 11 January, 2001 a commission was constituted to suggest
the possible places for setting up a capital by the interim
government. Though it was suspended after a month and a half, when
the first elected government took over, the one member commission
was revived in 2002. It only became functional from 1 February, 2003
and thereafter received extensions for as many as eleven times.
