Statistics not parameter for crime control: UP CM

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Thursday said "statistics are not a parameter for crime control" and faith of the people is the actual standard.

Chairing a review meeting of the Home department here, he referred to recent incidents of crime in the state and said, "Statistics are not a parameter for crime control. The actual standard is the faith of people, and we have to prove ourselves on this front."
Making another strong observation on the functioning of the department, the UP Chief Minister said, "Questions being raised on law and order, is itself a question on the relevance of the department."
"An atmosphere should be built so that such questions are not raised. For this, the head of the department should decided his accountability and that of his team. Every week, the law and order situation should be reviewed. The prosecution should be so fast that it becomes an example for criminals and instils fear in them."
He said, "Do not let any criminal loose. To uphold public trust, deal strictly and effectively with those who commit crime against women and girls."
