On March 23, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath paid a surprise visit to Lucknow's Hazratganj police station to have an inspection of the place.
Following the inspection, Adityanath opined that the police should be people-friendly, thereby ensuring that appropriate action will be taken to maintain law and order in the state.
The Chief Minister also came up with the idea of 'anti-Romeo squads' to keep a check on eve-teasing.
Certain changes in the police administration are expected since the change of the government in the state.
