Lucknow, April 8 : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday issued strict directives that bulldozers should not move on the huts, houses and shops of the poor and action should be taken only against mafias and criminals. According to a government spokesman the CM has directed that illegal properties of only professional criminals and mafias should be demolished. “Zero tolerance against crime and criminals and sensitivity towards the poor had been the mantra of the Yogi government during five years of previous regime. CM Yogi Adityanath has taken forward this principle in the second stint as well,” he said. He has also directed the officials to take immediate action against those grabbing the properties of the poor. The spokesman said demolition exercises are being carried out against unauthorised buildings constructed illegally by criminals and mafias. “The effect of the government action could be gauged from the fact that around 80 criminals have surrendered during the last fortnight,” he said.
