Campaign to remove encroachment on enemy property: Yogi Adityanath

Lucknow:

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who chaired a high-level meeting of the Interior Ministry, issued several directives in the public interest.

The chief secretary of the House also gave a presentation at the meeting on the main points of the “Chintan Shivir” held in Haryana under the chairmanship of the Union’s Minister of Home Affairs and Cooperation, a press release said.

It is necessary to ensure the security of enemy property in different districts of the state. There have also been reports of infestation in certain places. In such a situation, a report should be made of the updated status of all enemy property, the statement added.

To clear them from encroachment, action must be taken statewide under the auspices of the Department of the Interior. A secretary-level chief officer should be appointed as the focal point for protecting, managing and guarding enemy property, the press release added.

“We must make a planned effort to make the villages on the interstate/international border ‘lively’. The potential for tourism development can be formed by effectively promoting the cultural/historical heritage of the border villages/districts. Schoolchildren, NCC , NSS cadets/volunteers should be taken to these areas,” the Chief Minister said.

The retired military personnel/paramilitaries residing in these areas should be recognized as Border Sepoys (Sarhad ke Sipahi), and their necessary cooperation should be provided to maintain the system here. In the border districts, 100 percent saturation of the public welfare schemes of the central government and the state government must be ensured.

The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) prepares a document detailing the status of crime records in the country. A state-level focal point officer should be appointed in order to smoothly implement the Criminal Procedure Identification Act 2022. In any case, ensure that the NCRB has access to accurate, real and time-bound data.

Given the importance of cybersecurity, it is now necessary after the police zone to establish a cybercrime police station in every district of the state. These cyber police stations can be located in the reserve police lines of the districts at local convenience. A joint cyber coordination team should be established at the state level. In addition to the police, this team should also include cyber experts. Prepare and submit a detailed action plan.

The ‘Safe City Project’ proves to be very helpful in fulfilling women’s security, respect and self-reliance determination. Through this project in the state, the modern control room under the Lucknow Police Commissionerate, Pink Police Booth, Asha Jyoti Kendra, CCTV cameras, help desk for counselors in women’s police stations, panic buttons on buses and other security measures have been implemented. The security system of cities has become smart with the Integrated Traffic Management System installed as part of the Smart City project. Prepare an action plan to develop more cities into ‘safe cities’ by doing financial management through convergence with interdepartmental coordination. In this way, Uttar Pradesh will be the first state with 17 safe cities in the first phase.

The campaign against illegal production and drug trafficking in the state must be intensified. From this point of view, vigilance and intelligence in sensitive areas will need to be further improved. Vigilance at interstate and international borders must be increased. Strict action must be taken against the drug mafia.

‘Uttar Pradesh Special Security Force’ has been established to provide strong security for important government and private buildings, industrial institutions, religious sites, pilgrimage sites, courts, metro rails, etc. of the state. It is necessary to strengthen the UPSSF and make it more professional in the line of the Central Industrial Security Force. The Ministry of the Interior should take the necessary measures in this regard.
