Administration made a plan to stop migration
The border villages of three border districts of Uttarakhand, Pithoragarh, Chamoli and Uttarkashi are currently facing the problem of migration. In such a situation, there remains a possibility of infiltration. In view of this, the Central Government is increasing facilities in the border villages under the Vibrant Village Programme. Economic improvement-livelihood development, housing and rural infrastructure, restoration of ecosystem, road connectivity, skill development etc. are to be done in these villages.
Along with promoting tourism, security will also be improved.
After the development work starts, many types of activities will start here. In future, there are preparations to promote tourism in these villages and make them lively. In view of this, steps are being taken towards strengthening the security arrangements in these villages.

The officer said this
Security of border villages is necessary. That is why the Central Government has also identified Vibrant Villages in Pithoragarh, Chamoli and Uttarkashi. Development plans have been prepared by different departments to stop migration from these villages and to ensure that the youth can get employment in the villages themselves.
Keeping security in mind, there are preparations to open 15 police checkposts in these villages. This will benefit the native people and will also stop human and wildlife trafficking. The police force deployed at the check post will maintain coordination with the SSB, ITBP and Border Police already present in the area. -Nilesh Anand Bharne, Chief Spokesperson, Police Headquarters
