Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has called for permanent noise control measures on loudspeakers at religious places and ordered a strict ban on high-volume DJs during Holi celebrations. Reviewing development projects and law and order at the Circuit House on Wednesday, Adityanath instructed officials to enforce noise restrictions strictly and prevent any disturbances.
The CM also directed authorities to install CCTV cameras at key locations, including banks, shops, and commercial areas, to bolster security. A strong warning was issued against illegal cattle smuggling, with orders for strict action against smugglers, vehicle owners, and any complicit police personnel. ADG Zone Piyush Mordia has been tasked with conducting district-wise reviews to ensure the statewide ban on cattle smuggling is enforced effectively.
To accelerate development projects, Adityanath instructed officials to appoint nodal officers for each under-construction project, conduct weekly inspections, and submit progress reports. Delays in infrastructure projects were criticized, with orders to expedite work while maintaining quality standards.
With summer approaching, the CM stressed the importance of an uninterrupted water supply and proposed the beautification of flyover pillars with artistic paintings and high-quality advertisements. He also directed the creation of dedicated vending zones for street hawkers to regulate urban spaces.
Adityanath further ensured provisions for affordable meals, free drinking water, and proper seating arrangements for farmers at all wheat procurement centers, with the District Magistrate confirming that procurement at ₹2,425 per quintal will begin on March 17 across 36 district centers.
The CM also ordered the establishment of hostels and affordable canteens for working women and called for strict security measures during Holika Dahan and Holi celebrations. Additionally, officials were instructed to identify the top ten criminals from each police station for targeted action, signaling a tougher stance on law enforcement across Uttar Pradesh.
