"The people must feel fully protected, while criminals must live under constant fear of the law," the chief minister said. He directed that during the 30-day campaign, women beat police officers must visit all 57,000 gram panchayats and 14,000 urban wards in phases. Adityanath instructed that special deployment of women police be ensured at temples, religious sites, fairs and other public places during Navratri and upcoming festivals. He called for further strengthening of the Anti-Romeo Squad.
