The Uttar Pradesh government has assigned district responsibilities to 60 ministers in a major administrative reshuffle aimed at strengthening governance at the grassroots level and accelerating the implementation of development schemes across the state.
According to the new arrangement, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak have not been allotted charge of any individual district. The state leadership will instead focus on monitoring all districts and overseeing governance and development work across Uttar Pradesh.
Among the key allocations, Women Welfare Minister Baby Rani Maurya has been assigned Etawah and Hathras, while Laxmi Narayan Chaudhary will oversee Aligarh and Firozabad.
Minister Jaiveer Singh has been entrusted with Jhansi and Farrukhabad, while Dharampal Singh will supervise Ghaziabad and Rampur. Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi has been given charge of Mirzapur and Chitrakoot.

Among other assignments, Yogendra Upadhyay has been given charge of Kanpur Nagar, Ashish Patel of Gonda, Sanjay Nishad of Kanpur Dehat, and Om Prakash Rajbhar of Ambedkarnagar.
Meanwhile, Dara Singh Chauhan will oversee Kushinagar and Shravasti, while Sunil Kumar Sharma has been assigned Saharanpur. Anil Kumar will look after Moradabad, and Bhupendra Chaudhary has been given charge of Agra and Kasganj. Manoj Pandey will oversee Sitapur.
Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed public grievances during a 'Janta Darshan' programme at the Gorakhnath Temple premises in Gorakhpur, where he interacted with citizens and reviewed complaints for prompt resolution.
