Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has ordered officials to act firmly against rumours, hooliganism and attempts to disrupt the ongoing Kanwar Yatra. He directed immediate factual responses to misinformation and heightened vigilance in Bareilly, where the yatra coincides with the Ala Hazrat Urs. The government said Muslim community members were serving vegetarian food and keeping celebrations low-key out of respect for pilgrims. Officials told the review meeting that nearly 70,000 Kanwariyas had passed through Ghaziabad, with numbers expected to rise over the next two days. Adityanath also reviewed women’s safety, fertiliser supplies and floods, ordering stronger patrolling, action against black marketing, relief for marooned villages and repairs to vulnerable embankments.
