During his visit to Prayagraj, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made a major announcement, declaring that the infamous 'Kasari-Masari' area will no longer be associated with mafia legacies and will instead be developed and recognized as 'Krishnapuri'. CM Yogi emphasized that no locality in the state will henceforth bear an identity linked to criminals.
New Housing and Township on Freed Land
Marking the auspicious occasion of Sharadiya Navratri, the Chief Minister performed the 'bhoomi pujan' for the construction of 602 new houses and a modern township in the area. Kasari-Masari has historically been closely tied to gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed, but the administration is now transforming the landscape to give the entire region a fresh, progressive identity.
Zero Tolerance Policy and Transformation
Addressing a public gathering, CM Yogi recalled how gangsters once dictated terms in Prayagraj while previous administrations looked away. He reiterated that his government adopted a strict 'zero tolerance' policy against crime and criminals from day one. Today, the terror once spread by these elements has been completely dismantled, replaced by welfare projects and lawful development for the common citizens.
