He also instructed authorities to ensure that blood is not drained into open sewers and emphasised adopting a zero-tolerance policy against any troublemakers to maintain peace and public order.
The CM, who turned 53 on Thursday, issued these directives during a law and order review meeting that he chaired at Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur. At the temple, he also offered prayers and paid floral tribute to Mahant Avaidyanath's statue.
Besides, Yogi reviewed preparations for the International Yoga Day celebrations scheduled for June 21. He instructed officials to make arrangements for the live telecast of PM Narendra Modi's address and to install large display screens at all major city intersections.
He enquired about the pending construction work at Ayush University and directed the divisional commissioner to ensure its completion within a week. The university is scheduled to be inaugurated by the President of India on June 30.

Political slugfest erupts over renaming of Kolkata's iconic Sealdah station
Kolkata: A fresh political tussle has broken out between the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the proposed renaming of Kolkata's iconic Sealdah Railway Station. While the Trinamool Congress wants the Sealdah station to be renamed after Swami Vivekananda, the West Bengal unit of the BJP wants it to be renamed after Syama Prasad Mukherjee. Both the BJP and the Trinamool Congress have their own logic. According to BJP former state president in West Bengal and Union Minister of State, Dr Sukanta Majumdar, Sealdah station was denied the main transit point status for the Hindu refugees during the partition of undivided India. 'The man responsible for ensuring the proper livelihood of these Hindu refugees was Syama Prasad Mukherjee. So, in his memory as well as keeping in mind the significance of Sealdah station for the transit of refugees, the station should be named after him,' Majumdar said. However, Trinamool Congress state general secretary, Kunal Ghosh, has rejected Majumdar's logic. According to him, there is a port in West Bengal that is already named after Syama Prasad Mukherjee. There is no necessity for a station to be named after him. 'Rather, Sealdah has a direct link with Swami Vivekananda. After delivering his iconic speech at a religious conference in Chicago in the USA, he came to Sealdah station. So there is a direct link between him and the station. So the station should be named after him," Ghosh said. However, Majumdar admitted that naming Sealdah station after Syama Prasad Mukhopadhyay would not be easy, as the name change of any railway station in any state required the concurrence of the state government concerned. 'The station's name will be changed following the recommendation of the state government concerned. So I will request the Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, that her government sends the proposal for renaming the station after Syama Prasad Mukherjee,' Majumdar said.

BJP Govt, Election Commission Completely Lost Plot: Karnataka CM On Detention Of INDIA Bloc MPs During Protest
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday accused the BJP-led Central government of "weaponising" police against the INDIA bloc MPs instead of "addressing rot" in the electoral system, as "exposed" by Rahul Gandhi. He made the remarks after the Delhi Police today detained INDIA bloc MPs, for protesting against the poll body over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar and allegation of "voter fraud" during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. "The cowardly Narendra Modi Govt and a compromised Election Commission have completely lost the plot. After Shri Rahul Gandhi exposed massive voter fraud in Bengaluru, instead of addressing the rot in our electoral system, the BJP is weaponising the police to detain those demanding accountability," Siddaramaiah wrote in a post on X. Rahul Gandhi on August 7 held a press conference, where he claimed that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections were "choreographed" by the EC to benefit the BJP, which he said appeared "immune to anti-incumbency." Today, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and other senior INDIA leaders were detained for marching peacefully to the ECI against the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and the growing pattern of electoral malpractices," Siddaramaiah said. Continuing his tirade over the government's actions, Siddaramaiah said, "A government that silences the Opposition rather than letting the ECI do its constitutional duty is a government that fears the truth - and fears the people." Earlier today, Delhi Police detained Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, Mallikarjun Kharge and other Opposition MPs, shortly after they began their protest march from the Makar Dwar of the Parliament. The MPs were raising slogans of "vote chor" as they marched towards the office of the poll body at Nirvachan Sadan, before being halted by the Police. The detained MPs were taken in a bus to the olice station. Rahul Gandhi said that the Opposition's fight is not a political fight but a fight to save the constitution. "The reality is that they cannot talk. The truth is in front of the country. This fight is not political. This fight is to save the Constitution. This fight is for One Man, One Vote. We want a clean, pure voters list," the Congress leader said. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi said, "Dare hue hai. Sarkaar kaayar hai. (They are afraid, the Government is a coward)," BJP leader and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan accused the Congress of misleading the public. "The country can see if there is anyone who is working against the Constitution, it is led by Rahul Gandhi. SIR is not happening for the first time in the country. Congress lies about EVMs, raises the issue of Maharashtra elections, Haryana elections and creates a mountain of is their well-thought-out strategy to create a state of anarchy...I appeal to the Opposition and the Congress party to raise all issues in discussion on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, the Opposition and Congress had no agenda..."

Adityanath says 'Viksit UP' vision to have 24-hr discussion in House, urges all MLAs to participate
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the UP assembly will hold discussions on the "Viksit UP" vision continuously for 24 hours and urged opposition leaders to raise questions on the subject. Adityanath says 'Viksit UP' vision to have 24-hr discussion in House, urges all MLAs to participate Speaking to reporters at the Vidhan Bhavan shortly before proceedings of the assembly began, Adityanath said the Monsoon session was important as the government will make the action plan for the next 25 years on the table of the House. It will be a four-day Monsoon session of the UP legislature, beginning Monday. Adityanath said the Uttar Pradesh government is acting on its vision of "Developed UP" to realise the resolve of "self-reliant and Viksit Bharat". He said the vision was prepared with the cooperation of the NITI Aayog and experts, and all sections' views have been incorporated. "By 2047, when India will become a developed nation and Uttar Pradesh will also be 'Viksit Uttar Pradesh'," he said. The House will discuss the matter continuously for 24 hours on August 13 and August 14, Adityanath added. Responding to a question on Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's criticism of the 24-hour discussion, Adityanath said the opposition party's agenda focuses on negativity rather than development. Yadav had earlier said the idea to hold a discussion for 24 hours straight was "madness". Adityanath added, "Earlier, when we had extended the proceedings for 36 hours , the SP opposed it even then and used unparliamentary words, for which they are already notorious." The chief minister also said that during the Question Hour, public representatives will raise questions and important issues will be discussed during the Zero Hour. "The government is fully prepared to answer all the questions," he said, and appealed to all the parties for meaningful and constructive discussions, so that time is utilised properly and negativity can be avoided. "It should be a fruitful discussion. There should not be any negativity. We should not waste time by creating nuisance," he said. "But if they create unnecessary nuisance by creating disruptions, then people of the state will put them in the dock in the court of the people," Adityanath said. The government will welcome any proposals that are in the interests of the youth, development of UP and fulfilling the aspirations of the public, he said. Adityanath also said that seasonal issues like floods and waterlogging will be discussed in the monsoon session. Apart from this, there will be in-depth discussions on topics related to health, education, infrastructure, poor welfare and upliftment of all sections, he added.
