As the Yogi Adityanath government completes the first year of its second term, women police officers will participate in bike rallies across the state on Wednesday to mark women empowerment. Instructions regarding this have been issued by Yogi himself.
“The primary objective of this rally is to inform people about the safe environment for women in the state,” a government spokesman said here on Tuesday.
The rally will start on the first day of Chaitra Navratri, and end on ‘Ashtami’ (March 29). It will take two routes — the first will be east to west (Vindhyachal Dham to Gautam Buddha Nagar) and the second will be from north-south (Devipatan Dham to Lalitpur).
In the rally, 15-20 bike-borne female police officers will deliver the message of safety and ‘Uttam Pradesh’ to people, covering an average distance of 80-120 kilometres per day. A gazetted officer has been appointed as incharge of the rally. At the same time, four-wheelers will also be included for the rally’s branding and women inspectors will accompany women drivers. An ambulance will also accompany the rally.
The first route of the rally will begin in Vindhyachal, the abode of ‘Maa Vindhyavasni’, and end in Gautam Buddha Nagar via Prayagraj, Fatehpur, Kanpur, Etawah, Agra, and Aligarh. The second route will begin in Shaktipeeth Devipatan and culminate in Lalitpur via Ayodhya, Lucknow, Kanpur, Hamirpur, Orai, and Jhansi.
