Lucknow: To prevent law and order problems in the state, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday directed police officials to take cognizance of disputes even without a formal complaint and work towards resolving the issue before it goes out of hand. During a review of law and order during a video conference with administration and police officials on Monday evening, the CM highlighted upcoming festivals, like Ganga Dussehra on June 5, Eid-ul-Zuha on June 7, and the Jagannath Rath Yatra on June 24, saying that this period was highly sensitive from a law and order perspective. "All district magistrates and police captains should review past incidents in their areas. Lists should be prepared of those who slaughter prohibited animals, act against tradition, or spread disorder, and preventive action should be taken against suspects. Communication with peace committees in all police stations, tehsils, and districts should be ensured. Traffic on public roads should not be obstructed, and police foot patrols should continue around religious sites," he said. The CM said that sites for sacrifices on Eid-ul-Zuha should be identified, and no sacrifices should be allowed anywhere else. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¡Trading con IA en Chile ayuda a usuarios a obtener ganancias potenciales!

To mark World Environment Day on June 5, the CM said that plantation should take place under the theme of 'Ek Ped Ma ke Naam' with participation from MPs, MLAs, and other public representatives. The CM also spoke about the need for revival and restoration of rivers, asking administrations to take inspiration from the revival of the Noon River in Jalaun. He added that this year's tree plantation campaign should be linked to river restoration. Discussing preparations for the 11th International Yoga Day on June 21, the CM said that a list of master trainers should be prepared and sent to districts. The main event of Yoga Day, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading the programme, should be broadcast live across the state. Expressing concern over road accidents, the CM identified violation of traffic rules as the main cause of accidents. He spoke about the need for improvements in road engineering, signage, and speed breaker arrangements. He directed that illegal bus and auto stands should be removed immediately and that road accidents should be audited to determine responsibility. The CM also assessed the public hearing system and praised districts with a good performance. He also directed other districts to improve their functioning. "Law and order and public hearings are governance priorities. Complaints received through IGRS and the CM Helpline should be resolved satisfactorily and timely. Resolution alone is not enough. A complainant's satisfaction is the final standard. In all cases, establish contact with the applicant before the final resolution. All officers should conduct public hearings in their offices on working days and appoint public grievance officers in all their departments and offices," he said.
