Dehradun: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami handed over appointment letters to 112 newly selected transport constables in a program organized at the Chief Servant House of the Chief Minister’s residence. Along with this, the Chief Minister also flagged off 2 promotional vehicles with the aim of increasing public awareness towards road safety on the Chardham Yatra route. Congratulating the newly selected candidates who received the appointment letters, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that this success is not only the result of the hard work, discipline and determination of the selected youth, but the cooperation, sacrifice and blessings of their families also play an important role in it.
Chief Minister Dhami said that the post of transport constable is very important in the Transport Department, whether it is the smooth operation of passenger services, monitoring of road safety, vehicle registration process or pollution control, they have an important role in every system. Therefore, this job of yours is not just a government job, but also a social responsibility.
Chief Minister Dhami said that I expect the newly appointed transport constables that you will not only maintain dedication and discipline at your workplace, but will also work with a spirit of dialogue and cooperation with the general public.
Chief Minister Dhami said that the Transport Department is committed to providing smooth and safe services in the state. But we all know that as the number of vehicles has increased in the state, the number of road accidents has also increased alarmingly. Therefore, to prevent accidents in the state, we have implemented the “New Uttarakhand Road Safety Policy 2025” in February 2025. Under this policy, by determining the responsibilities of all the concerned departments, a target has been set to reduce the death rate in road accidents by 50 percent by the year 2030. I am confident that all of you will cooperate in achieving this goal with full loyalty and dedication.
Chief Minister Dhami said that it is the resolve of our government that the qualified, hardworking and talented youth of the state should get equal opportunities in a transparent manner on the basis of their ability. Recruitment and promotion done in a transparent manner instills confidence in the youth. This transparency motivates them to enter the competition in a better way, our government is continuously working in this direction. To erase the stigma put on the recruitment processes by the previous governments, we have implemented the country’s toughest “anti-cheating law” in the state. After the implementation of this law, all the examinations in the state are being conducted safely in a transparent manner, the result of which is that we have been successful in giving government jobs to more than 23 thousand youth in the last 3 years.
Chief Minister Dhami said that in the previous governments, along with nepotism in jobs, corruption was also at its peak. We are working under the policy of “zero tolerance” to root out this termite of corruption in the state. As a result of this, in the last three years we have sent more than 200 people involved in corruption behind bars and this campaign of ours is continuing.
On this occasion, Cabinet Minister Ganesh Joshi, Rajya Sabha MP Naresh Bansal, MLA Khajan Das, Secretary Brijesh Kumar Sant, Additional Secretary Mrs. Reena Joshi along with officials of the Transport Department and all the newly selected candidates were present.
