The decision to promulgate an ordinance was taken after the Supreme Court refused to stay the Allahabad High Court's March 9 order for removing the state government's posters displaying photographs and names of the rioters involved in damaging properties during the anti-CAA protests in December last year.
The posters have been put up on the streets of Lucknow following the orders passed by CM Yogi Adityanath. The rioters, who were accused of damaging government property during the anti-CAA protests, have been given notices of recovery for damaging properties.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced compensation of Rs 1 crore to family of IB official Ankit Sharma, who was murdered by a rioting mob in the national capital last week.
The party MLAs have claimed that since the Delhi police have failed to protect Arvind Kejriwal they should be excluded from the compensation scheme for martyrs.
