Your safety is society’s safety; your respect is respect for Lord Valmiki’s heritage: CM Yogi on Valmiki community

Lucknow, Oct 7 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath told the Valmiki community today that their safety meant the safety of society. "Your respect amounts to respecting Lord Valmiki’s heritage", he remarked. Making an announcement, the CM said that sanitation and contract workers will now get money directly into their bank accounts not from outsourcing companies but from the government corporation.
"Sanitation workers will also get a health insurance cover of five lakh rupees. When the corporation’s money comes into the account, arrangements will be made that if unfortunately, any sanitation worker meets with an accident or disaster, the bank will provide Rs 35-40 lakh. Eighty thousand Home Guards in UP have already been covered under this scheme. Now sanitation workers will also be linked to this arrangement", he stated.
CM Yogi attended the Maharshi Valmiki Manifestation Day ceremony held under the aegis of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Mahasabha Trust. The CM congratulated the people of the state on the birth anniversary of Lord Valmiki. A short film was also shown during the event. Yogi Adityanath said that Maharshi Valmiki is the fate-maker of India’s great spiritual tradition. When the sage, purified by penance and austerity, set out to write thousands of years ago, he first asked Sage Narad a simple question: Who is the person of true character I can write about?
