About Haldwani Times – The Voice of Haldwani & Kumaon Division

Haldwani Times is an independent digital news and local discovery platform founded with the mission to empower the citizens, entrepreneurs, students, and institutions of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand with 100% verified hyperlocal news, commercial transparency, and civic awareness. Operating from our central newsroom in Haldwani, we act as the digital voice of the Kumaon division.

Our Story: Transforming Regional News Coverage

For decades, national and state-level media outlets treated Haldwani and Kumaon as peripheral regions, reporting on local issues only during major natural disasters or political elections. Important everyday civic concerns — such as local road widening, hospital equipment shortages, school achievements, Mandi price fluctuations, and cultural festivals — rarely received meaningful coverage. Haldwani Times was launched to bridge this critical information gap. By combining modern digital publishing technologies with rigorous on-ground investigative journalism, we provide the residents of Kumaon with a world-class news portal dedicated exclusively to their needs.
