UP CM Akhilesh Yadav to visit riot-hit Muzaffarnagar today
The chief minister is also likely to meet the family of the slain journalist
Although tension eased in the district after the curfew was relaxed for 12 hours on Saturday, the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) has been facing flak for the continuing lawlessness in the state. The chief minister has also been targetted by the opposition for allegedly failing to curb the violence that claimed 48 lives.
While Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is expected to visit Muzaffarnagar on Monday, and Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi are likely to visit the district next week.
