Yogi Adityanath takes 50 decisions as UP CM without single Cabinet meet

TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ After taking over as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh a week ago, Yogi Adityanath has taken 50 administrative decisions without holding a single cabinet meet drawing approval and skepticism from the public.

Some of the major decisions include setting up of anti-Romeo squads aimed at preventing harassment of women in public places and shutting down of illegal slaughterhouses to keep in check the unhygienic conditions in the overcrowded marketplaces.

CM’s both decisions met with mixed response from the public as well as opposition parties as he forced police officials to work on overdrive to ensure implementation of these policies. However, some other decisions like banning of pan masala and polyethene in government buildings, announcing Metro Rail project in Allahabad, Meerut, Agra, Gorakhpur and making all state roads pothole-free by June drew much appreciation from the public.

The grant for Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage was increased from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh along with directions for the construction of Mansarovar Bhavan near New Delhi for pilgrims. The CM has also ordered that one female and male police official needs to be present at the reception of each police station. He has also promised an uninterrupted supply of electricity to devotees during Navaratara and Ram Navmi.
