Lucknow, June 9: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday met Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt to discuss 'Sampark for Samarthan' (contact for support), a personal outreach programme to highlight the achievements of the Narendra Modi-led government in the last four years.

Adityanath shared a photograph in which he is seen presenting a booklet featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah on the cover.

"Thank you Yogi Adityanath Ji for making me a part of 'Sampark for Samarthan' initiative. It's indeed an honour," Sanjay tweeted.

The campaign is a part of the party's effort to reach out to maximum number of people ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

BJP launched the contact programme after completing four years of the NDA rule at the Centre.

About 4,000 senior party workers, including Union Ministers, Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of states, are to carry out the campaign to meet more than one lakh well-known personalities.

Shah had earlier called on Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit-Nene and her doctor-husband Shriram Nene.

Mysuru (Karnataka) (PTI): A male leopard strayed into a house here on Friday, triggering panic among residents, forest officials said.

The incident occurred around 10 am at Siddhartha Layout in the city, they said.

According to officials, the leopard, estimated to be around three to four years old, entered the house of a resident identified as Suresh. The animal was found hiding beneath a cot in one of the rooms. Those in the house managed to escape and alerted forest department officials, who rushed to the spot along with veterinarians.

The leopard, suspected to have strayed from the Chamundi Hills or nearby forest areas, was eventually tranquilised. It was later safely shifted to the Mysuru Zoo, a senior forest official said.
