No AC, saffron towel, sofa for field visits, Yogi Adityanath orders his officials

Lucknow, July 13 (IBNS): Urging to stop all 'show offs', Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath strictly ordered his officials not to indulge in the arrangements of air conditioner, saffron towel, sofa during his field visits, media reports said on Thursday.

Adityanath, who was criticised last time when he visited the family of a dead soldier from his state, seems to be cautious this time.

He even warned his officials of strict punishments in case of lapses.

Ordering his officials, the UP CM was quoted by NDTV: "There should be no show-off and no inconvenience to people."

Last Friday, while visiting the family of a soldier who died in Kashmir, the UP CM got an extravagant reception organised by his officials.

He had to receive similar criticisms when he was greeted by arrangements of AC, sofa, coolers as he visited a soldier's home in May. After his departure, the items were also taken away.

Later, the soldier's family said they felt humiliated by the CM's visit.
