Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced a significant boost to police welfare and infrastructure, unveiling a ₹100 crore annual allocation for police housing along with increased funds for personnel welfare. The announcement, made on October 22, 2025, aims to improve living conditions for police officers across the state, ensuring modern accommodations and enhanced facilities for families. The initiative also includes funding for upgraded police quarters, better amenities in remote postings, and resources to support the mental and physical well-being of law enforcement personnel. CM Dhami emphasized that the move reflects the state government’s commitment to strengthening the police force, both in terms of infrastructure and personnel morale. The increased welfare funding is designed to cover healthcare benefits, educational support for officers’ children, and retirement planning assistance, addressing long-standing concerns about the working and living conditions of the state’s police personnel. Officials noted that these measures are part of a broader effort to modernize Uttarakhand’s law enforcement infrastructure while enhancing operational efficiency and public service delivery. The announcement has been welcomed by police associations and local media as a proactive step toward improving security infrastructure and workforce satisfaction. The funding allocation is expected to roll out in phases starting later this fiscal year, with priority given to regions facing acute housing shortages and remote postings where police officers often face challenging conditions. #PushkarSinghDhami #UttarakhandPolice #PoliceHousing #PoliceWelfare #LawEnforcement
