A civil-military liaison meeting took place today in which Chief Minister TS Rawat urged the Army to extend support to the state government’s drive to revive the Kosi and Rispana rivers. Besides, several issues were discussed, including shifting of Army CSD depot, UPNAL building and SIDCUL land at Udham Singh Nagar.
Sub-area Commander, Major General JS Yadav, said if the Army decided to shift the UPNAL office, it would make temporary arrangements for housing at the sub-area. But, for the time being, it was not being shifted. Rawat offered to construct a building for UPNAL if the land was provided by the Army with the promise that the Army would continue to have possession rights on the building and the land. There was also an agreement for the shifting of the CSD depot that is located near Aaraghar Chowk to Transport Nagar which would aid in decongesting traffic on the EC road.
