Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has reprimanded the officials who were showing reluctance in resolving crimes related to women and girls, and has also given instructions to bring about improvement. It is believed that if there is no improvement even after CM Yogi’s ultimatum, many officials may face action. Actually, Uttar Pradesh ranks first in the country in resolving crimes related to women and girls. Despite this, the ratio of disposal of crimes related to women in many districts of the state is not as per the expectation of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. CM Yogi’s intention is that crimes related to women should be resolved 100 percent, while the ratio of some districts of the state is between 80 to 90 percent.
If they do not improve even after the ultimatum, strict action will be taken
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recently held a high-level review meeting with officials regarding law and order. In the meeting, the officials presented a report from 1 April 2023 to 30 April 2024 on the basis of the ITSSO portal in front of CM Yogi. It was told that Uttar Pradesh ranks first among the states across the country in resolving crimes related to women and girls.
The disposal ratio of the state is 98.70 percent. Ladakh is at first place and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman Diu is at second place among the Union Territories. He expressed happiness over this and patted the back of the Home Department. On the basis of the report, the officials told the CM that the officials of some districts of the state are not serious about disposal. Their negligence has come to light in the report.
Expressing displeasure over this, CM Yogi has given an ultimatum to such officers (SP, SSP and Police Commissioner) to improve within a month. Along with this, the officers have been instructed to provide the report of careless officers to the government after a month. It is believed that if the working style of careless officers is not improved, then they may face action. According to the officers, the ratio of disposal in these districts is between 80 to 90 percent whereas CM Yogi wants the ratio of disposal of crimes related to women and girls to be 100 percent.
Pratapgarh lags behind Prayagraj Commissionerate in compliance rate

Whereas the compliance rate of Pratapgarh is 84.31 percent, Kanpur Dehat is 85.37 percent and Chitrakoot is 86.27 percent. CM Yogi has expressed extreme displeasure over this. The CM has instructed the officials of these districts to curb crimes under the zero tolerance policy and punish the accused in the registered cases in the shortest possible time.
