On his birthday, here are five major decisions taken by Yogi Adityanath after he became the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.


Emphasis on Law and Order: The goal of Yogi's administration in Uttar Pradesh was to improve law and order. To improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the police force and ensure a prompt reaction to criminal activity, the government implemented a number of programmes. This strategy attempted to provide locals a sense of security and foster an environment that was conducive for business and investment in the state.


Implementation of the Anti-Romeo Squad: Yogi introduced the Anti-Romeo Squad, aimed at ensuring the safety and security of women in public places. This effort includes police teams monitoring neighbourhoods to deter sexism and harassment of women, making Uttar Pradesh a safer place for women.

Renaming of Cities: Yogi's government decided to rename several cities in Uttar Pradesh. For instance, the city of Allahabad was renamed Prayagraj, and the iconic Mughalsarai railway station was renamed Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Junction.

Crackdown on Illegal Slaughterhouses: Yogi initiated a strict crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses operating in Uttar Pradesh. This action aimed to regulate the meat industry, ensuring that slaughterhouses followed legal guidelines and maintaining hygiene standards. The crackdown was also intended to address concerns related to animal welfare and the environment.
