Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath cuts short his scheduled tour of western Uttar Pradesh after a fire in Lucknow kills at least 15 people. The incident occurs at a coaching centre in the Aliganj area. After learning of the tragedy while on an official engagement in Aligarh, he cancels planned events and returns to Lucknow to oversee the state’s response. On reaching the capital, he inspects the affected building and reviews the situation at the site. Officials are instructed to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire and to take strict action against those found responsible. The chief minister also directs that proper medical care is provided to the injured and expresses condolences to the families of those who died. While some reporting notes that he had earlier inaugurated development projects worth more than Rs 1,100 crore in Aligarh and Firozabad before the incident, all accounts focus on his decision to rush back to Lucknow and his instructions for follow-up measures, including investigation and support for victims.
