Hathras Rape
UP government is committed to ensuring safety of women: Yogi Adityanath
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanth on Friday said his government is committed to ensure women's safety in the state where recent incidents of atrocities against women in Hathras and Balrampur have triggered countrywide outrage.
In his tweet, Yogi said exemplary punishment will be given to those who even think of disrespecting women.
"The UP government is committed to protecting every mother and sister in the state," Yogi tweeted.
"This is our promise," he added.
उत्तर प्रदेश में माताओं-बहनों के सम्मान-स्वाभिमान को क्षति पहुंचाने का विचार मात्र रखने वालों का समूल नाश सुनिश्चित है।

इन्हें ऐसा दंड मिलेगा जो भविष्य में उदाहरण प्रस्तुत करेगा।
आपकी @UPGovt प्रत्येक माता-बहन की सुरक्षा व विकास हेतु संकल्पबद्ध है।
यह हमारा संकल्प है-वचन है।
The Yogi Adityanath government has come under attack after the 19-year old, who belongs to the lowest rung of caste system prevailing in the north Indian state, was allegedly dragged by her dupatta, gangraped by four men, got her spinal cord damaged and her tongue cut.
Two weeks after the incident, which occurred on Sept 14, the girl succumbed to her injuries at a Delhi hospital on Tuesday morning.
In an even more shocking incident, the dead body of the girl was cremated by police officials in the dead of night denying the family members a look at the victim for the last time in Uttar Pradesh, which is ruled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The victim, a Dalit, had named her attackers in a statement on Sept 22.
The four accused, believed to be upper caste Thakurs, have been arrested.
