Varanasi: 27.05.2018


Reacting to recent incidents of dogs and monkeys attacking people across the state, UP urban development minister Suresh Khanna said if a monkey attacked a person in his house, there was not much that ‘satta’ (power) could do.

Khanna was in Varanasi on Saturday to attend an event to mark the completion of four years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre.

The minister was answering a question about what the state government was doing to crack down on feral dogs killing children in Sitapur and increasing incidents of bulls and monkeys attacking residents in Varanasi.

Earlier during the event, Khanna, who is also the minister in charge of Varanasi, gave an account of ₹29,527-crore corpus sanctioned by the Centre for over 400 development projects gifted by Modi to Varanasi — which is his parliamentary constituency — in the last four years.

Lauding the achievements of the Modi government, he said, “As many as 271 projects worth ₹966.11 crore have been completed so far, while 69 others worth ₹8,513.59 crore are in progress. The completion of these projects will improve basic infrastructure as well as facilities in education, health and tourism in Varanasi.”
