Uttarakhand High Court Prioritizes Relief Over Jubilee

The Uttarakhand High Court has made the decision to cancel its silver jubilee celebrations, originally scheduled for later this year, due to the devastating impact of recent natural disasters across the state.

In place of the festivities, the court has instructed the state government to redirect the allocated budget of Rs 1.5 crore to the chief minister's relief fund. This financial support is aimed at rehabilitating families severely affected by the calamities.

Moreover, all judges and the registrar have pledged to donate one day's basic salary to the relief fund, demonstrating personal commitment to aid in recovery efforts.
