Yadav first visited Kawal village, where three persons were killed on August 27 over an eveteasing incident after which tension has been running high in the district.
Waving black flags, the villagers shouted slogans against the "failure" of the administration in controlling the violence that has claimed 47 lives. The villagers also alleged that the Chief Minister did not receive a memorandum from them and only met 'outsiders'.
Later, the Chief Minister left for Malikpura and Kandhla to meet family members of victims.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's visit comes a day before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's scheduled visit to the district for an on-the-spot assessment in the riot-hit area and commencement of the monsoon session of the State Assembly.
