Yogi to celebrate two-and-a-half years of his govt in UP

Lucknow, Sep 4 

Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Adityanath government completes two and a half years in office on September 19 and grand celebrations are being planned to mark the occasion.

According to Additional Chief Secretary - Information, Avanish Awasthi, the modalities of the celebrations will be worked out in a day or two.

"The state government has created new records in implementation of various schemes -- whether it is the Saubhagya Yojna, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Yojna, Swachhata campaign or construction of toilets. The occasion calls for a major celebration," he said.

The Yogi government has succeeded in curbing epidemics like dengue, malaria and encephalitis with the number of cases having gone down by almost 65 per cent this year in eastern UP, said Awasthi.

The official said the Yogi government has also succeeded in crime control and checking organised crime. "There have been no communal riots and all festivals have been peacefully celebrated during the past two and a half years," he said.

The state government also counts among its achievements its initiatives to attract investment and the successful hosting of the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj and the 'Deepotsav' in Ayodhya.

Sources said apart from events, the state government also plans to publish booklets and produce short films to raise awareness about its achievements. The booklets will be distributed and the films displayed on LED screens in rural areas.
