On requests for financial assistance for medical treatment, he assured people that lack of funds would not hinder treatment and instructed officials to expedite estimates so that government aid could be released promptly.

He also assured a woman of strict action against her in-laws after she complained of harassment during a Janata Darshan programme held at the Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur. The CM gave a patient hearing to the grievances of around 150 people at the event.

The woman alleged that her in-laws were creating obstacles in her child’s education, prompting her to seek help directly from the CM. Responding firmly, Adityanath advised her to focus on her child’s education and assured that the administration would take action against those responsible.

He said such behaviour would not be tolerated and that justice would be ensured through legal means. The CM also instructed officials to take prompt action in such cases and ensure protection and support for victims of harassment. He emphasised that law and order mechanisms would be strictly enforced to curb intimidation and injustice. Moreover, CM Yogi also inaugurated a two-lane bridge built at a cost of 14.33 crore in the Taramandal area of Gorakhpur.
