Chief minister Adityanath Yogi has asked senior officials to chalk out clear guidelines for anti-Romeo squads to ensure that the police did not act against boys and girls hanging out together with consent. The boys and girls going around together with mutual consent should not be disturbed he suggested the police officers. That means the love birds can be together and enjoy with themselves.
He said strict action should be taken against those involved in acid attacks and senior officers should review such cases with district magistrates and the district police chiefs on a day-to-day basis.
Yogi was presiding over a high-level meeting convened to review the performance of departments in Lucknow.
He said the state government was receiving complaints about illegal mining from many districts. Such a situation was not acceptable, he said, asking the principal secretaries of the mining and home departments to check illegal mining immediately.
He said the officers should make security arrangements for the state secretariat on the pattern of the parliament secretariat and cancel the entry passes issued unnecessarily.
He asked officers to install the biometric system and CCTV cameras for marking attendance in state government offices to check the tendency of abstaining from work.
Observing that the attendance of doctors in government hospitals was not satisfactory, he asked officers to take immediate steps in this connection.
The chief minister referred to the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to make his point that the state government’s non-cooperation in the past towards such schemes had deprived the people of the state of their benefits.
The work for implementation of the scheme should be transferred from the urban development department to housing development department, he said. A scheme for allotment of houses to those not having any house should be worked out and incomplete houses constructed under the Kanshiram Housing Scheme should also be completed, he said.
He also referred to the Union government’s scheme to provide generic medicines at cheaper rates and said so far only 150 shops had been opened in the state under this scheme.
