DEHRADUN(Uttarakhand): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has taken a tough stand against those running illegal madrasas in the name of religion. Within 15 days, more than 52 illegally run madrasas were sealed.

On Monday, on the instructions of CM Dhami, 12 illegal madrasas were sealed in Vikasnagar, Dehradun and nine in Khatima. Earlier, action had been taken against 31 madrasas in various districts, Uttarakhand CMO said in a release.

For a long time, a network of illegal madrasas was being spread in Pachhadun and other areas of Uttarakhand.
