The decision was taken after the attack on the Gorakhnath temple.

Ahmed Murtaza, a 30-year-old IIT graduate, had on Sunday tried to enter the Gorakhnath temple premises and when the security personnel tried to stop him, he attacked them with a sickle, injuring two constables.

Additional Director General (Law and Order) Prashant Kumar said, "We are trying to ascertain every aspect that led to the incident. The arrested accused links with people or organisations is also being looked into."

The plan also includes rejuvenating 19 of the 22 tributaries of the Gomti river that have dried up.

The speculation gained strength after the sulking socialist leader Shivpal Yadav recently met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath amid reports of strains in the SP-led alliance.

Shivpal Yadav had contested the Assembly elections from Jaswantnagar seat of Etawah on the symbol of the Samajwadi Party headed by his nephew Akhilesh Yadav.
