LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath addressed a meeting of senior police and district officials on Monday to discuss law and order situation in view of the upcoming festival season.
He said that a constant vigil should be kept on anti-social elements and strict action should be taken against them.
“The CM has directed the administration and police to hold dialogues with Durga Puja committees, religious leaders, farmer organisations and civil society to make sure festivals are conducted peacefully with everyone’s cooperation.
Guidelines have also been issued to maintain law and order, communal harmony and to strictly follow the Covid-19 restrictions in view of Navratri, Durga Puja and Vijayadashmi, Chehallum and staging of Ram Leela,” said a government spokesperson.
He added that during the establishment of Durga Puja Pandal and Ram Leela stage, care should be taken that traffic and movement of the general public is not affected. As much as possible, small vehicles should be used for the immersion of idols and a minimum number of people should be involved in the programme, the spokesperson added.
