Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced renaming the Prayagraj locality Kasari-Masari as Krishnapuri following a demand by BJP MLA Siddharthnath Singh, who said the old name implied the area was inhabited by butchers. The change aims to shed the area's mafia-linked past, including ties to slain don Ateeq Ahmed. Adityanath highlighted efforts to free the area from mafia control and build houses for the poor.
