Dhurandhar Reflects UP's Transformation Under Yogi
The movie 'Dhurandhar' tells the story of how Uttar Pradesh (UP) in India used to have a lot of problems.
There were fake money notes coming from Pakistan, and the state was known for riots and crime.
The film shows how a strong leader named Yogi Adityanath, who became the Chief Minister in 2017, helped change things.
Under his leadership, the police and other agencies worked hard to stop the fake money and reduce riots.
The state became much safer and more stable.
The movie uses a character inspired by a real intelligence chief to show how these changes happened.
The movie 'Dhurandhar' portrays Uttar Pradesh's journey from issues like fake currency and riots to stability under Yogi Adityanath's leadership.
Fake currency from Pakistan's ISI via Karachi's Lyari area was a significant problem in UP, with the state serving as a major transit hub.
The film highlights the political changes after 2017 when BJP came to power and Yogi Adityanath became the CM, leading to a significant reduction in fake currency cases and communal riots.
Under Yogi Adityanath, UP's Special Task Force (STF) operations were upgraded, leading to increased seizures and arrests of fake currency rackets.
National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data shows a dramatic decrease in fake currency-related cases and communal incidents since Yogi Adityanath took over as CM.
