Addressing a meeting of the Vishva Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) Kendriya Margadarshak Mandal here, Mr. Dhami said, "Uttarakhand shares its borders with two countries (China and Nepal). A particular community had illegally encroached land and raised structures in the border areas of the state which are being removed as part of a drive."
"Illegal encroachments in the name of land jihad will not be allowed to vitiate the atmosphere in Uttarakhand", Mr. Dhami said.
