Yogi Adityanath warns of public shaming for those defaming Kanwar Yatra, urges kanwariyas not to take law into their own hands
CM Adityanath issued a warning against any attempts to defame the Kanwar Yatra, both in person and on social media. He said strict action would be taken against those who create disturbances during the yatra. Following the event, those caught causing trouble will be publicly shamed through posters, he said.
He also asked kanwar groups to identify such people amidst them and hand them over to police. 'In case any miscreant tries to tarnish the Kanwar yatra, then instead of taking law into your own hands, you should approach the administration,' said Adityanath.
'If any one takes route of ruckus to defame Kanwar Yatra, then we have CCTV footage of all of them. After the Kanwar Yatra is complete, their posters will be displayed,' Adityanath told the gathering in Meerut.
'It is the responsibility of kanwar associations as well to expose such people who are trying to defame Kanwar Yatra and create ruckus. Distance yourself from such people. Do not allow them to be part of your group and inform the administration about them,' said Adityanath.
Telling kanwariyas that Lord Shiva is the God of 'Lok Mangal' (public welfare), he urged them to also try to understand the problems of others.
The alleged assault on CRPF jawan came to light after a video emerged on social media. The police identified the CRPF jawan by only his first name, Gautam.
According to the police, Gautam had come home on leave and was at the station to board the Brahmaputra Express for Manipur, where he is currently posted. He was with his minor son, based on whose complaint the FIR against the accused was filed.

‘A robust platform to empower young entrepreneurs': CM inaugurates CM YUVA Conclave
CHIEF MINISTER Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday inaugurated the CM YUVA Conclave and Expo-2025 in Lucknow. The CM YUVA Yojna has been launched under the Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Vikas Abhiyan. Adityanath said that over 68,000 youths have so far received interest-free and collateral-free loans amounting to Rs 2,751 crore under the scheme. The state government is offering 10 per cent margin money assistance to support budding entrepreneurs further. Highlighting the potential of Uttar Pradesh's youths, he said, 'CM YUVA Yojana is not just a financial aid programme, but a robust platform providing mentorship, market access and essential resources to empower young entrepreneurs.' He directed officials to ensure that at least 50 youngsters from each district visit the exhibition so they can gain firsthand knowledge about various government schemes, startup resources and market opportunities. He also inaugurated the exhibition and launched 'UP Mart', a portal for machinery suppliers, aimed at easing access to essential tools and equipment for startups. Also, 17 MoUs were signed in the CM's presence to boost entrepreneurship in the state. Underscoring the unique features of the scheme, Adityanath noted that it addresses the key challenges faced by aspiring entrepreneurs— lack of capital, training, and guidance. 'This is not just a scheme —it's a movement. A golden opportunity for every youth who has a dream but lacks resources,' he said. Addressing university Vice-Chancellors and youths at the CM YUVA Conclave, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed concern over the growing disconnect between academic institutions and society. 'Our institutions are becoming isolated islands, increasingly cut off from the people and government schemes. This disconnect is dangerous,' he said. He pointed out that due to lack of information, many young people fall prey to fraudulent schemes, get burdened by debt and are often left with no choice but to migrate in search of opportunities. 'But now, this cycle will end,' he asserted. The CM highlighted several initiatives launched to revive Uttar Pradesh's traditional industries, including handicrafts, cottage industries, and the MSME sector. 'Today, there is no licensing requirement for the first 1,000 days of starting a new enterprise in the state. We are also providing an insurance cover of ₹5 lakh to support young entrepreneurs,' he said. Reflecting on the 2017 Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra of the BJP, prepared under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister said that a commitment was made to promote traditional industries through a dedicated scheme. Acting on this, a statewide survey was conducted post-2017, which revealed that every district had unique traditional enterprises. However, due to corruption, lawlessness, and large-scale migration, these industries had nearly collapsed. The CM said that the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme has helped boost Uttar Pradesh's exports from Rs 86,000 crore to over Rs 2 lakh crore. 'Earlier, Chinese products flooded the markets during festivals. Today, locally made ODOP items are finding a place in every household,' he added. He also announced that products from Uttar Pradesh would be prominently featured at an International Trade Show scheduled from September 25 to 29, 2025, at the India Expo Centre in Noida. 'The Buyer-Seller Meet held at this event has become a massive platform for showcasing the state's potential. No one would have imagined such innovation and enterprise from UP just a few years ago. From four lakh participants in the first year to five lakh in the second, the show is pushing forward our vision of taking local products to the global stage,' he said.
