The Yogi Government’s ‘Zero Tolerance’ Policy

“Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the UP Police has implemented a ‘zero tolerance’ policy at the grassroots level over the past nine years. This has instilled fear among criminals and strengthened the sense of security among the general public. This is the reason why the state’s law and order situation is receiving appreciation at the national level,” stated a press release.

Alongside police encounters, measures such as property confiscation, actions under the Gangsters Act, and provisions related to laws like the NSA have also been effectively implemented. The statement noted that, under the Yogi government’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy in Uttar Pradesh, this nine-year-long campaign against criminals is not only reflected in statistics but has also succeeded in establishing the rule of law at the grassroots level. “The police’s swift, strict, and courageous actions have compelled criminals to flee the state, and Uttar Pradesh is further solidifying its identity as a fear-free and secure state,” the press note added.

The Chief Minister suggested that religious practices involving large congregations should be managed in an organized manner—including holding them in shifts or utilizing designated places of worship—so that public order and daily life remain unaffected.

“I am often asked whether people in Uttar Pradesh truly do not offer Namaz on the roads. I state clearly that this absolutely does not happen—go and see for yourselves. Roads are meant for commuting. Can just anyone come and create a spectacle at a crossroads, bringing traffic to a halt? What right does anyone have to obstruct public movement?” he asked.

Addressing concerns related to crowd management, the Chief Minister further remarked that religious gatherings should not cause inconvenience to others.

“Some people asked me, ‘How will this work? Our numbers are too large.’ We replied that it can be done in shifts. If there isn’t enough space at home, manage the numbers accordingly. Unnecessary crowding should not be encouraged,” he said.

“If you wish to offer Namaz, you may do so during your designated shift. We will persuade you gently; however, if you do not agree, we will adopt a different approach,” Yogi added.

He further commented that people should be encouraged to observe their religious practices without disrupting public order, adding that the administration would ensure discipline in public spaces.

The Chief Minister also stated that efforts would be made to maintain order through persuasion and dialogue.
