UP CM Yogi Adityanath makes surprise visit to police station

Lucknow, Mar 23 (IBNS) : Only a few days after he took over and ordered police to be 'vigilant' against crimes and lawlessness, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday made a surprise visit to a police station in the state capital to inspect their preparedness, media reports said.

The priest-turned-politician, who on Wednesday declared in the Lok Sabha that a "lot of things will stop" in Uttar Pradesh,  reportedly told police officials at the Hazaratganj police  station to take their jobs seriously and spend extra hours in office.


Addressing the media outside Hazratganj, Lucknow’s biggest police station, Adityanath said, “This is the first audit, not the last.”

He said his visit  was to “boost the morale of  the  cops so that the law prevails,” reported NDTV.

At the station, Adityanath reportedly inspected police records and the lock-up facility.

After taking oath, the CM held a meeting with the state police chief and asked him to prepare a blueprint within 15 days for better handling of the law and order siutation.

He said that one of the priorities of his Government is to work towards eradicating ‘goondaraj’ in the state.
