Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday accused previous state governments of neglecting the development of the capital city and said the city suffered from filth, disorder and anarchy. However, Lucknow has been completely transformed in the past five years, he said. "Five years ago, the state capital used to bear the brunt of neglect of local governments.

UP making efforts to find permanent solution to flood problem: Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said the state was making an effort to find a permanent solution to the state's flood problem that causes huge loss of lives and property every year. "Till a few years ago, 38 districts of Uttar Pradesh were affected by floods every year. Today, it has been reduced to only four districts," he said.
