The Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday said the anti-Romeo squads were doing a "good job" and slammed opposition parties for creating a controversy about them.
Addressing the media after the first cabinet meeting of the Yogi Adityanath government, the state's Power Minister Srikant Sharma said: "Anti-Romeo squads are doing a good job and are being hailed by the people of the entire state."
Sharma said that opposition parties tried to create controversy and demean it after the squads were formed.
He said that before going to the field, members of the squads are properly briefed by senior police officials.
