Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has announced a major welfare measure for forest personnel in Uttarakhand. Forest staff posted in remote areas of the state will now receive a housing allowance to ease their living conditions.
Highlighting the challenges faced by forest personnel, CM Dhami stated that these employees work tirelessly in difficult conditions to protect Uttarakhand’s forests and wildlife. Often stationed at remote and inaccessible outposts, they are required to live away from their families, making it difficult to arrange separate accommodation.

Acknowledging these hardships, the government has decided to provide a housing allowance for personnel posted in remote locations where essential facilities such as healthcare and education are limited or unavailable.
The Forest Department, in consultation with the Finance Department, will identify the eligible remote areas where this facility will be implemented.
