Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said Thursday the Uttarakhand government will not tolerate "infiltrators" in the state.
"Bangladeshis or Rohingyas, we will not tolerate infiltrators in Uttarakhand. The state is strategically sensitive and important," Rawat told reporters here.
He also appealed to people to inform the authorities immediately using the chief minister app and other such apps if they spot suspicious people.
"Infiltrators will certainly be chased out of the limits of Uttarakhand," he said.
Former chief minister and BJP MP from Haridwar Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank had recently expressed concern over alleged infiltration of Bangladeshis into the state.
