Dehradun, Nov. 5 -- The state Congress unit on Wednesday staged statewide protests under its 'Dhami Hatao-Bhumi Bachao' campaign against the state government's alleged decision to lease state-owned land to private players at "throwaway prices". State party president Ganesh Godiyal led a protest in Mussoorie against the handover of the historic Sir George Everest estate to a private entity. Meanwhile, addressing a press conference in New Delhi, party general secretary in-charge of Uttarakhand Kumari Selja said, "Across the entire state, there have been such dealings at 40 places,..." she claimed. "These lands include government lands, heritage properties, and lands connected to projects. Dhami has completely turned into a property dealer" she said. BJP MLA Vinod Chamoli alleged that the protests were an attempt to disrupt investment, employment, and development initiatives. He said that the Dhami government introduced strict land laws and reclaimed over 13,000 acres of illegally occupied land. "The Congress tenure was marked by major land allocation controversies."...
