Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], June 23 : Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat on Tuesday said that India will not let China take even an inch of its land.

He said Uttarakhand shares a 345 km border with China and roads are being built in the border areas.
"The Lipulekh road project, which was pending for the past 17 years, picked up pace. It is also a way of protecting the country," he said.
