BJP MP Anil Baluni took part in Holi celebrations in Dhoor, a 'ghost village' in Uttarakhand's Garhwal constituency, aiming to breathe life back into deserted rural areas.

Baluni noted that the villages, once thriving ecosystems, now stand abandoned due to decades of migration in search of better opportunities.

Addressing the issue, Baluni has launched the 'Apna Vote Apne Gaon' campaign to encourage people to re-register as voters in their ancestral villages, aiming to revitalize these ghost towns.
