OPINION | Yogi Adityanath in action: Stays Lucknow demolitions, teachers' digital attendance

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday took two important decisions on public demand. He ordered a stay on demolition of all houses built in the river flood zone across Lucknow and also put a hold on the implementation of digital attendance for thousands of basic school teachers for the next two months. Officials of the state irrigation department had put red markings on houses built in Pant Nagar, Abrar Nagar, Indraprastha Nagar and Rahim Nagar in Lucknow, saying these were meant for demolition by bulldozers. Yogi told residents of these colonies that there would be no demolition, but accountability will be fixed against officials who allowed these colonies to be built on a floodplain zone in the first place.
