Gorakhpur: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday heard the complaints of about 500 people during Janata Darshan held at Gorakhnath temple and directed the administration and police officers present to ensure time-bound, fair and satisfactory redressal of their complaints.

He personally approached the people seated on chairs in front of the Mahant Digvijayanath Smriti Bhawan within the temple premises and listened to each person’s issues one at a time. “There is no need to worry because the resolution of everyone’s problems will be ensured in any case,” he said.

People spoke about their issues in front of the CM during the Janata Darshan and several women brought prayer letters pertaining to land disputes. A few among them complained that goons were attempting to encroach upon their land on which he directed the officials to take strict action.

He said, “Those involved in forcibly grabbing land should be identified as land mafias and dealt with strictly. Actions should be taken against those who encroach on the land of any poor individual in such a way that it serves as an example.”

Yogi directed the officials that land disputes should be resolved diligently to ensure satisfaction for the aggrieved individuals. On requests for financial help for treatment, he assured the people that no one’s treatment would stop due to lack of funds.

He directed the officers to expedite estimation of the treatment cost and make it available to the government at the earliest so that the funds could be released as early as possible. He also blessed children accompanying families and encouraged them to study hard.

During the Janata Darshan, there was a couple who had come not seeking a resolution to any problem, but with a desire to have their seven-month-old daughter’s ‘Annaprashana’ ceremony conducted by CM Yogi himself.

Fulfilling their wish, the CM took the child in his lap and fed her sweet rice pudding while caressing and blessing the baby girl with his love and blessings.
