Dehradun, Sep 22 (PTI) Uttarakhand Governor Lieutenant General Gurmeet Singh (Retd) and Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday inaugurated the Bhagirath Garden in the Raj Bhavan complex here.

On the occasion, they unveiled a 10-foot-tall statue of King Bhagirath, created by Haridwar-based artist Shivam Chaurasia using fibre and resin, officials said.
