“As circle officer of Gorakhnath, I keep meeting the Chief Minister and he also knows me very well,” said Charu Nigam, the young IPS officer.
She also maintained that providing security to the Chief Minister was a challenging task as she is responsible for controlling large number of people who come to temple to meet Yogi Adityanath.
