Loudspeakers at mosques in Uttar Pradesh have either tuned down their volume or been removed, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Sunday and added the uninstalled public address sy🦩stems are being donated to schools and hospitals.
The chief minister further said there were no riots in the BJP-ruled state during and a▨fter the recent assembly polls.
Virtually addressing a media conclave organised by RSS-linked weeklies 'Panchjanya' aౠnd 'Organiser', Adityanath said, "In many states there were riots after the elections were over. Ther⛦e were no riots in UP during or after the elections. After the formation of the government, Ram Navami was celebrated with fervour. Hanuman Jayanti celebrations passed off peacefully. This is the same UP where small issues led to riots earlier," he said.
"Now, you must have seen for the first time 𝔍that Eid Namaz was not performed on roads. Now, you must have heard that 🗹either the volume of the mosque loudspeaker has gone down or the loudspeaker has been removed completely. Now these loudspeakers are being donated to schools and hospitals for their use," Adityanath said.
Talking about the issue of stray cattle in the st𒈔ate, he listed several steps taken by the government to deal with it.
"...when our government came to power in the state, it shut down all illegal slaughterhouses. And then stray cattle were roaming on roads and in the fields. Earlier they were smuggled into illegal slaughterhou﷽ses. To meet this challenge, we set up over 5,600 stray cattle shelters," he said.
He said a new system is being ꦉset up for producing CNG from cow dung, which will be bought from people at Re 1 per kg, Adityanath said, adding that all necessary steps wilꦯl be taken to protect cows.
He also talked about the grand Ram temple being built in Ayodhya and the renovated Kashi Vishwanath temple complex. In every assembly constituency in the state, the governme🤡nt is developing a pilgrimage site, he said.
He also s🅷poke about the economic progress of Uttar Pradesh under the "double engine" government -- same party rule at the Centre and in the state.
