Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made a big announcement. Now a fire post will be established at a distance of every 100 kilometers on every expressway of the state. This system will speed up road safety and emergency services.
Now the people traveling on the expressway in Uttar Pradesh are going to get another big facility. It is often seen that incidents of sudden fire occur in buses and trains traveling long distances, which also result in loss of life. But this will not happen now. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed that a fire post will be built every 100 kilometers on all major expressways of the state, so that immediate relief can be provided in case of any emergency.
Fire teams will be deployed on the expressway
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took this important decision during the review meeting of the fire department on Thursday. He said that in view of the increasing incidents of accidents and arson on the expressway, now a small fire post with a fire tender will be established every 100 kilometers. Its objective is to enable relief and rescue operations to begin within the “golden hour” of the accident.

He also said that a specialized unit will be created in every region of the state, which can quickly deal with any kind of emergency.
New recruitment will strengthen the department
In the meeting, CM Yogi took a major decision towards departmental reorganization and gave instructions to create new posts.

Account cadre will be formed in every district
The Chief Minister said that an accounts cadre will be established in every district to increase the administrative efficiency and financial transparency of the department. Also, the quality of training and research will be improved by adding new posts in the State Fire Training College.

CM Yogi said, “Fire service should always be ready to serve the public.”
CM Yogi said that fire service is a department directly related to the safety of public life and property. Its structure should be such that it is capable of giving fast, efficient and responsive response in every situation. He directed the officials to complete the process of restructuring of the department in a time bound manner, so that its benefits can reach the public as soon as possible.
