Free encroached land without delay, punish bullies: Yogi

Free encroached land without delay, punish bullies: Yogi

Gorakhpur, Apr 30 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday directed the officials to immediately clear encroachments on land belonging to the poor and take strict legal action against the culprits, warning that those who exploit the vulnerable will face consequences.

Speaking at the Janata Darshan held outside the Mahant Digvijaynath Smriti Bhawan at Gorakhnath Temple, the CM reiterated the government's unwavering commitment to justice and prosperity for every citizen, urging officers to act with transparency, impartiality and sensitivity.

During Janata Darshan, he heard the grievances of around 200 people. Among them was a distressed woman who shared details of a long-standing land dispute.

Assuring her, Yogi said, "Don’t worry, your problem will be solved and we'll also take care of your journey home."

These compassionate words moved the woman seeking justice to tears. The CM immediately directed the officials to take swift action and assured her that justice would be delivered without delay.

As the woman expressed her gratitude, she also said she did not have the fare to return home. "Don’t worry, you will be given the fare to return home," the CM said while directing the temple management to provide the necessary assistance.

He directed the officials to ensure speedy and high-quality resolutions of each of the people's issues. As in previous sessions, several individuals sought financial help for medical treatment.

Yogi assured them of full government support. Handing their applications to officials, he directed that treatment cost estimates be prepared promptly and submitted for approval. Some attendees had brought their children, with whom he interacted warmly, blessing them, gifting chocolates and asking about their studies.

He began his day with prayers at Guru Gorakhnath's shrine and the samadhi of his Guru, Mahant Avedyanath. He then visited the temple premises, performed Gauseva at the Gaushala and paused at Bhim Sarovar to hand-feed ducks.
