Due to lack of basic amenities like unemployment, poverty, drinking water and suitable infrastructure and the development of the area, the people of Uttarakhand had to move.
In the beginning the movement was somewhat weak, but in the 1990s it got a strong hold and it reached its culmination in Muzaffarnagar in 1994. 20 km from the border of Uttarakhand The martyr's memorial at Rampur, in Muzaffarnagar district of far away state, is a silent witness of the movement, where on October 2, 1994, there were about 40 people of agitated police bullets. As the culmination of the long-term struggle of nearly a decade, the Uttaranchal state was born to recognize the socio-cultural values of the hilly region and political autonomy for better governance.
