Dispute Arises Over Land for Adventure Tourism Project in Haridwar

The Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board (UTDB) allocated land at Haridwar's Bairagi Camp in June 2023 to Rajas Aerosports and Adventure Pvt Ltd, a firm owned by Patanjali co-founder Acharya Balkrishna, for a one-year adventure tourism pilot project. Despite multiple reminders, the firm has not vacated the land after the project's end in June 2024. The Uttar Pradesh government claims ownership of the land, complicating the situation. Rajas Aerosports denies illegal occupation and awaits formal clarification from Uttarakhand authorities.
