Authorities in Uttarakhand on Thursday refuted reports in Nepalese media that they have asked their counterparts in Nepal to prevent their citizens from "illegally" visiting the Indian territories of Kalapani, Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Gunji.

Dharchula SDM Anil Kumar Shukla dismissed as "fake" the reports that said he had written to authorities in Nepal on the matter.

"I have not written any such letter to Nepalese administration. All such news items are fake. We do not have time to spend on such things as we are too busy these days combating natural calamities like cloudbursts which have killed people," Shukla said.
