Delhi govt names two roads in Patparganj after personalities from Uttarakhand

The Delhi government has named two roads in east Delhi’s Patparganj assembly constituency after Shaheed Kesari Chand, a freedom fighter from Uttarakhand, and Hir Singh Rana, a folk singer from the hill state.

The announcement came on Sunday when chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal was visiting Uttarakhand ahead of the assembly polls scheduled to be held next year.

Kejriwal announced that if elected to power in Uttarakhand, AAP will ensure employment in every household of the state (Har Ghar Rozgar) and provide ₹5,000/monthly stipend to unemployed youth. He also announced that AAP will provide 100,000 government jobs within six months of coming to power in the state.
