Stains inside the office premises seem to have irked Yogi Adityanath who ordered the cleanup.

In his speech in the parliament on Tuesday, Yogi Adityanath had stated that 'many things will be stopped in Uttar Pradesh'. While he did not reveal much about what his government intended to stop, the cleanup drive seems to have kickstarted with government offices.
