The Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday announced that the state would soon get a new industrial policy.

"A Group of Ministers, with five ministers as its members, has been constituted. It would visit various states in the country to help the government to form a new industrial policy," Power Minister Srikant Sharma said at a press conference here.

He said a committee has also been constituted to look into issues related to potato growers in the state.

Talking about crime, Sharma said the government has been following "zero tolerance" against crime and will continue with the same policy in the future too.

Sharma, along with state Home Minister Sidharth Nath Singh, was addressing the media after the first cabinet meeting of the newly formed government in Uttar Pradesh.
