During Nanda Devi Mahotsav, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami asserted that his government had “freed” 13,000 acres of government land from alleged encroachments, declaring that the state’s “sanctity” would not be compromised. He highlighted the implementation of strict anti-conversion laws to stop the “demographic change,” which he attributed to a “conspiracy” involving continued ghuspaith (infiltration), and highlighted the dissolution of the Madrasa Board.
