The Uttar Pradesh government has identified 14 cities, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency Varanasi, for transformation as per the “growing urban requirements”, and has decided to prepare new master plans for these cities, officials said on Friday.

Apart from Varanasi, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s hometown Gorakhpur, state Capital Lucknow and Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) in the National Captial Region (NCR) are also on the list. The other cities are Kanpur, Chitrakoot, Prayagraj, Agra, Moradabad, Jhansi, Mathura, Bareilly, Meerut, and Saharanpur.

The state Department of Housing has been given the task of preparing the development plans. According to officials, the department has started the process of selecting a consultant for the project. While the master plans will be based on the Geographic Information System (GIS), the government plans to also initiate changes in land use to identify proper places for all the amenities to be provided as part of the new plans, which will include work to preserve historical sites and the general beautification of the cities.

Sources in the government said the consultant preparing the master plans would be expected to determine land use as per the current needs of the cities as well as the needs of the future, including rivers, airports, bus stands and military areas, along with the conservation of historical and religious sites, ponds, reservoirs, lakes, wildlife sanctuaries, if any, reserved forest areas and other protected areas. Army firing ranges will be declared “sensitive” areas. The plans will also identify waterworks, sewage treatment plants, and garbage disposal centres.

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.
