Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pankaj Singh met Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik today to discuss the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is facing a lot of criticism due to the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

On 26th July violent clashes had erupted in Saharanpur amongst two groups who reportedly clashed over a patch of disputed land close to the city's railway station.

Till now nine FIRs have been filed and 38 people have been arrested post the clashes which led to three deaths.

Another factor contributing to the deterioration of law and order are the number of brutal cases of crime against women in UP in the past two months including the Mohanlalganj and the Badaun rape case.
