To ensure proper arrangements for the poor, destitute, and homeless in the cold wave and inclement weather conditions sweeping the state for the past few days, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday, announced a relief fund of around Rs 20 crores.

Under the relief measures ordered by the government, night shelters are being established across the state. The government has allocated the fund of Rs 20 crores to light up bonfires and distribute free blankets to the poor and needy. In pursuance of the instructions of the Chief Minister, relief measures against cold weather are being rolled out in all the districts.

For the purchase of blankets, an amount of Rs 5 lakh has been allocated per tehsil taking the total amount to Rs.17.50 crore for 350 tehsils across the state. Along with that, Rs.50,000 per tehsil has been given out for arranging bonfire taking the total fund amounting to Rs.1.75 crore for 350 tehsils.

In this way, a total of Rs.19.25,00,000/- ( Rupees nineteen crore twenty-five lakh only) has been allocated for the relief measures.

With the night temperature dipping low and fog engulfing the state, the homeless and the destitute on the streets and roadside have just plastic sheets to save themselves from cold. The blanket distributed by the government will help the poor in distress.

Earlier, on Friday, to provide a roof to the poor and homeless and protect them in view of the rising cold weather, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had directed to set up Night shelters (Ren Baseras) across the state.

In a high-level meeting with senior officials, the Chief Minister instructed, “The Revenue Department and the Urban Development Department must ensure that adequate arrangements are made to provide the facility of night shelters in all municipal areas for poor homeless people.”

To comfort the street dwellers and make their survival easier, the Chief Minister has also urged the social welfare organisations to contribute to better management of the night shelters.

UP Govt takes steps to protect cows from the winter chill

In addition, the Yogi Adityanath Government has also taken an important decision to protect cows of the state from intense cold and inclement weather in winters. CM Yogi has directed the Department of Animal Husbandry to ensure proper arrangements are made for the cows in the cow shelters (Gaushalas).

The cow shelters will be equipped with fodder and water in sufficient quantities. Along with this, a caretaker will be posted at these shelters during the nights to take care of the cows in the chilly nights. Apart from this, hay and straw will be also laid on the ground in the cow sheds so that the cows can be protected from cold.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
