29 October, 2024;In a recent statement, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reiterated his administration’s commitment to a strict, zero-tolerance policy against crime, making it clear that it would apply equally to all criminals, regardless of their influence or position. His remarks come amid growing concerns over organized crime and lawlessness in certain regions of Uttar Pradesh.
CM Yogi Adityanath stressed that the zero-tolerance policy is not selective and is designed to address all forms of criminal activity, including those involving mafias and powerful individuals who may attempt to operate outside the law. “If there is a zero-tolerance policy, then it will be the same for every mafia and criminal,” he asserted, underscoring his administration’s resolve to maintain law and order across the state.
Since taking office, Adityanath’s government has introduced a series of tough measures targeting organized crime, aiming to dismantle powerful criminal syndicates and reduce instances of violent crime. His administration has been widely noted for its use of stringent laws, including the Gangsters Act and the National Security Act (NSA), to curb the activities of criminal networks.
The Chief Minister’s latest comments suggest that the Uttar Pradesh government will continue to intensify its actions against individuals and groups involved in criminal activities. Adityanath’s administration is also focusing on enhancing the effectiveness of the police force, increasing surveillance, and ensuring that no one—no matter their social or political standing—receives preferential treatment if found involved in crime.
The zero-tolerance policy has garnered support among many residents who believe it is crucial for the state’s safety and security, though it has also attracted criticism from some opposition leaders who question the government’s methods. However, CM Yogi Adityanath’s recent remarks make it clear that he views this approach as essential for maintaining law and order in Uttar Pradesh.
As the government intensifies its crackdown, the administration is expected to maintain rigorous law enforcement actions across the state, demonstrating that the zero-tolerance policy will indeed apply uniformly to anyone involved in criminal acts.
