Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 11 (HBTV): Union Minister Jitendra Singh met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow on Monday.

Both leaders inaugurated the newly constructed office building of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Lucknow Bench.

During his visit to Uttar Pradesh, Union Minister of State Singh also visited Ram Janmbhoomi in Ayodhya and offered prayers at the temple.

In a post on X, Singh expressed his joy after the visit, writing: ‘Ram is not just history, he is culture. Not only dignity, but also inspiration. #Ayodhya My mind became blissful after seeing Lord Shri Ram Lala once again.’

Addressing the event earlier, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the importance of tribunals, stating that the role of CAT is to provide a platform for officers and employees associated with the government whose matters have been pending in courts for a long time.

The Chief Minister said, ‘Today is very important for us, because today is the birth anniversary of the architect of the Constitution, B.R. Ambedkar... The government always had a clear objective behind tribunals. The cases in our courts are pending for a long time. In order to not waste courts' necessary time on these long pending cases, these cases were being heard by tribunals. The government's aim is that these tribunals should be able to provide justice to the concerned parties on the basis of merit in a proper manner. With this clear intention, tribunals have started working in different parts of the country.’

He added, ‘The role of CAT is to provide a platform for the problems of officers and employees associated with various government works and the social system related to the central government, who felt that justice was not being done to them at any level, and to provide them timely justice through this platform.’
