Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday reviewed the situation in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura city where a police sub inspector and superintendent of police among 20 others were killed during an anti-encroachment drive.

"Spoke to UP CM Shri Akhilesh Yadav and reviewed the situation in Mathura. I have also assured him of all possible help from the Centre," tweeted Singh.
