Take strict action against lawbreakers: Uttarakhan CM Dhami orders officials

Dehradun, May 2 (UNI) Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday directed officials to take strict action against those who violate the law and order in the state.

During a high-level meeting at his residence, Dhami emphasised the need for stern action against perpetrators, particularly in light of a recent incident involving a minor victim in Nainital.

The Chief Minister instructed the district administration in Nainital to provide complete security and care to the victim and her family, assuring that the government stands firmly with them.

He also directed officials to identify and take immediate action against those spreading misinformation and rumours through social media and other means.

Dhami warned that any attempt to compromise the state's integrity and unity would not be tolerated, and strict action would be taken against individuals or organisations that try to do so.

He emphasised the importance of maintaining vigilance to ensure the safety of pilgrims and tourists in the state, adding that any negligence in security arrangements would not be acceptable.

The Chief Minister also instructed district magistrates to submit a report within three days on actions taken against unauthorised occupants, vendors, and those with fake certificates. He directed them to verify tenants, vendors, and others, and take action against those found to be in violation of the law.

The meeting was attended by senior officials, including Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan, DGP Deepam Seth, and other high-ranking police and administrative officers.
