Over the last 17 years Dehradun has served as state headquarters which has resulted in mass migration from hills, huge floating population and high tourist footfalls leading to an ever increasing pressure on the limited resource of the municipal administration leading to dropping standards of cleanliness, increased traffic congestion, parking problems and development of slums.
