On Saturday, Adityanath inaugurated the 'Nausena Shaurya Vatika', a premier open-air naval museum and memorial park in Lucknow.

Speaking on the occasion, the Uttar Pradesh CM emphasised that development can only thrive in a strong security environment, recalling the lawlessness that plagued the state before 2017.

'Development plans can only progress effectively in a better security environment. Remember, before 2017, this very Uttar Pradesh used to have curfews every day. Professional mafia and criminals had made life difficult. Just as our army protects the borders under all circumstances, it is also the duty of citizens to respect those soldiers,' he said. (ANI)
