UP govt’s zero-tolerance policy towards crime showed positive results in last 4 years: CM Yogi

TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Hitting back at the Opposition over its charge of deteriorating law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said his government’s zero-tolerance policy towards crime and criminals has shown positive results in the past four years.

“The result of the zero-tolerance policy has been that when compared to the figures of 2016-2017, there has been a fall of 65.72 per cent in cases of dacoity; 66.15 per cent in cases of loot; 19.80 per cent in cases of murder and 45.43 per cent in cases of rape in the state,” the chief minister said at a press conference on completion of four years of his government.

Claiming that the perception of the state has changed during the past four years and it has emerged as the best destination for investments, Adityanath said it has been possible because of his government’s “performance on all fronts”, especially law and order.
