Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said today that the credit for making north India the most fertile land in the country goes to Uttarakhand as the Ganga and Yamuna rivers originate from this state. "Two mighty rivers - the Ganga and Yamuna - originate from Uttarakhand and it is because of these rivers that north India is the most fertile area in the country," he said at a ceremony here to mark the Pran Pratishtha of Mahayogi Gorakshanath in a newly built temple here. "It has been chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat 's priority from the very outset. Even I feel there should be no land disputes persisting for the last 17-18 years between the states. Talks have started in a positive atmosphere and I am sure we will resolve all outstanding issues soon," the UP chief minister said.He said Uttarakhand was being driven in the right direction in the able hands of Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat who had provided a transparent government in the state.
