Gairsain doesn't have required infrastructure to become capital: Rawat

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat on Thursday said the issue of Gairsain being made capital of the state is an "emotive" one but a practical call has to be taken as the remote hill town does not have the required infrastructure.

Replying to a question at a conclave named 'Mere Yuva Meri Shan' at Almora, Rawat said, "Gairsain is an emotive issue but we need to be practical. It doesn't have the infrastructure permanent capital of a state needs to have."
