हमने देवभूमि के अंदर कई चुनौतीपूर्ण और कठिन निर्णय लिए हैं। लैंड जिहाद के रूप में अतिक्रमित की गई 5000 एकड़ से भी अधिक भूमि मुक्त करवाई गई है। pic.twitter.com/1xxB5TIdi2

He added, “In Devbhoomi (land of the Deities) Uttarakhand, we have taken on many challenging tasks with the grace of Shriram. We have removed the encroachments by taking strict actions. We are making all kinds of efforts to maintain the original form of this Devbhoomi. Until May 2023, encroachment was recorded at more than 3,793 places through Land Jihad in the State. Among these, unauthorised Muslim graves (Mazars) were the highest in number.

Editorial Perspective

If the Uttarakhand Government can do this, why can’t other Governments do the same ? Even Union Government owned lands have been encroached throughout the country. It is necessary to free them all !
