Wife of SP killed in Mathura appointed gazetted officer

Uttar Pradesh government today appointed the wife of Superintendent of Police Mukul Dwivedi, who lost his life during Mathura violence last week, as a gazetted officer.
The decision to appoint Archana Dwivedi as a gazetted officer was taken at a cabinet meeting, an official release said here.
Dwivedi was killed last week in clashes that broke out after activists of 'Azad Bharat Vidhik Vaicharik Kranti Satyagrahi' indulged in widespread violence at Jawahar Bag in Mathura when police tried to evict them from large tracts of government land they had occupied for over two years, following an order of the Allahabad High Court.
