CM acts swiftly after video of needy family from Hania Tola, Khiri goes viral

Lucknow : After distressing visuals of a struggling family in Hania Tola, Lakhimpur Kheri, went viral on social media, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath promptly intervened. Acting on his directives, officials delivered essential food supplies and conducted an on-site inquiry.

The investigation revealed the family’s severe financial hardship and the presence of visually impaired daughters. In response, authorities initiated immediate action to extend benefits under relevant government welfare schemes.

As soon as the family’s plight surfaced online, CM Yogi Adityanath directed DM Durga Shakti Nagpal to ensure immediate relief. Within hours, the Tehsildar, Lekhpal, and other officials reached the family with essential supplies.
