"No riots took place in the last five and a half years. The state is receiving huge investments and employment opportunities are being generated," the chief minister said.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday, while pointing out that the state has become a "preferred destination" for investors, said that the government would not allow the "security of traders and entrepreneurs to be breached".

"No riots took place in the last five and a half years. The state is receiving huge investments and employment opportunities are being generated. Now highways and expressways are being constructed in Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh has become completely 'dangamukt', 'apradhmukt'," Mr Adityanath said while launching several development projects worth Rs 267 crore in Bijnor.

"The government would not allow the security of traders and entrepreneurs in UP to be breached," he added.
