Who We Are
hellodoon.com is a small team of journalists, writers, and Dehradun locals who believe this city deserves thoughtful, honest, and deeply local storytelling.
Dehradun is changing fast — new roads, new buildings, new people — and we want to document that change, hold power accountable, and celebrate everything that makes the Doon Valley special.
We launched with one belief: local news matters. Not the kind copy-pasted from a press release, but the kind that comes from actually walking the streets of Paltan Bazaar, Rajpur Road, Clement Town, and Dalanwala.
What We Cover
Our Values
Independence
Not owned by any political party, real estate developer, or corporate house. Our loyalty is to our readers — period.
Accuracy
We verify before we publish. If we get something wrong, we correct it openly and quickly — no asterisks, no buried footnotes.
Local First
We will always prioritise Dehradun stories. This city has enough happening without us borrowing from elsewhere.
Respect
We treat our subjects and our readers with respect — even when we disagree with them. Especially then.
