Sharp decline in cases of riots and extortion in UP, thanks to Yogi govt’s zero-tolerance policy towards crimes

Uttar Pradesh, which was often referred to as a ‘Danga Pradesh’ before 2017, witnessed 19 riots every day between 2012 and 2017 during the SP government.

In stark contrast, NCRB reports indicate that not a single riot has occurred in the state over the past nine years.

Although some anti-social elements attempted to incite unrest during this period, the strict law-and-order measures under the Yogi government successfully thwarted their plans.
