This was first time that Gairsain held a statehood day function after it was declared as summer capital. In June, goverr h acceded to tice of turning Gairsain into Uttarakhand's summer capital, a declaration that partially fulfilled a persistent demand of hill people of state. demand h originated since Uttarakhand's movement for statehood in 1990s, with many vocating for Gairsain to be me its permanent capital.
