Lucknow, February 9: Finance Minister Suresh Khanna presented the Uttar Pradesh government’s Economic Survey Report for the year 2025-26 during the assembly budget session on Monday. The report detailed the government’s achievements in law and order and security.
During his address, Khanna emphasized that the Uttar Pradesh government has prioritized strengthening law and order, taking decisive action against organized crime and mafia networks. This has led to a significant decline in crime rates, boosting confidence among both the general public and investors.
According to the Economic Survey, the government has introduced modern technology-based policing, enhancing police reforms. The implementation of CCTV, a digital case management system, and stringent actions against criminals have improved police efficiency and accountability. This has fostered an environment where the public feels safe to report complaints, thereby strengthening crime control.
Khanna also highlighted the government’s effective implementation of a zero-tolerance policy towards women’s safety. Under the Safe City project, the deployment of female police beats, a CCTV network, and anti-Romeo squads has ensured the safety of women in public spaces and workplaces. Additionally, the Uttar Pradesh Factory Act (Amendment) 2025 provides equal opportunities for women in industrial jobs, particularly in night shifts.
The Mission Shakti initiative has accelerated women’s self-reliance and social participation through the integration of security, health, and employment services. Furthermore, the establishment of fast-track courts and e-courts has expedited judicial processes. The Economic Survey also notes that the abolition of the criminalization of minor procedural offenses through the Public Confidence Act has strengthened a transparency-based governance model. Overall, these measures in law and order, women’s safety, and judicial reforms have played a crucial role in making Uttar Pradesh a safer and more investment-friendly state.
