MORADABAD: Facing criticism over the law and order situation, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said criminal elements, who had a free run over the last 15 years, were trying to create “mischief” and warned of strict action against those taking the law into their hands.
Addressing a function here, he claimed that the crime graph has come down after his government took charge and the situation will improve further in coming days. He said those violating the law will not be spared, regardless of their political affiliation.
“Our main priority is to establish rule of law in the state. I want to assure the people of the state that if someone tries to take the law into their hands, the government and the administration will deal with them firmly.

“Some people have been spoilt over the last fifteen years, and their habits will not change in a day. They are still trying to do mischief in some areas.

The CM said his government had cracked down on the anti- social elements, who had their way during the last 15 years, and cited the antiRomeo squads against eveteasing and shutting down of illegal slaughterhouses.
“Every person in the state is feeling safe .... Criminals should leave the state or be ready to go to jail,” said Adityanath.
The CM said he was visiting every division to take stock of the law and order situation and development work there.
