Yogi Adityanath’s Gorakhpur Janata Darshan: Swift Justice, Crackdown on Land Mafia

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday reiterated his government’s unwavering commitment to justice and fairness, directing officials to resolve public grievances promptly and satisfactorily.

Addressing around 300 people during a janata darshan at the Gorakhnath temple, Adityanath stressed that injustice would not be tolerated under any circumstances, a state government statement said.

The Chief Minister issued a stern warning to land mafias and strongmen who occupy land illegally, and stressed that no leniency would be shown to those who exploit the weak. ‘Strict legal action should be taken against all those who occupy land by force; they should be treated as land mafia,’ he asserted. He further directed that legal action against such offenders should serve as a deterrent.

Adityanath interacted with people outside the Mahant Digvijaynath Memorial Auditorium in the temple. Several women reported land disputes, highlighting attempts by influential people to seize their properties. In response, Adityanath urged officials to take decisive action and ensure speedy resolution in such cases.

He also dealt with petitions related to family disputes and advised officials to encourage dialogue between all parties for amicable solutions. Adityanath assured those seeking financial help for serious medical treatments and instructed officials to quickly assess the expenses and submit their reports to the government, promising immediate release of funds once the estimates were received.

In addition, the Chief Minister attended to two Punganur calves that arrived at the temple from Andhra Pradesh. As the head priest of the Gorakhnath Mutt, he also assessed the welfare of the cows and discussed their health and diet with the cowshed staff.
