In a post on X, President Murmu said, “On this historic occasion of the silver jubilee of the state’s formation, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the residents of the heroic Devbhoomi Uttarakhand.”

Additionally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi used X to greet the state’s citizens.
“On the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Uttarakhand, I extend my heartfelt best wishes to all my brothers and sisters of the state. Nestled in the lap of nature, our Devbhoomi is today gaining a new pace of progress in every field, along with tourism,” he said.
