Ghaziabad: Uttar Pradesh chief minister inaugurated and laid foundation stones of 755 infrastructure projects worth ₹878 crore at “Prabuddhjan Sammelan” rally in Ghaziabad on Tuesday evening. According to the official communique, the CM laid foundation stones for 346 works amounting ₹368.28 crore and launched 409 other projects costing about ₹509.56 crore.
Addressing a gathering of about 10,000 people at the rally, CM Yogi said, “The era of crime and criminals ended in the state after 2017 assembly elections. Today, Uttar Pradesh is taking steps to become the top state of country in economic terms. Due to our zero-tolerance policy against crime and corruption, the state is attracting investors from all over the world.”
Shifting focus to the upcoming civic polls, the U.P. CM hailed the Ghaziabad municipal corporation for its efforts which got the city the 12th rank in the Swachh Survekshan 2022 index among the cities with a population size between one and four million. “People of Ghaziabad helped us win all the assembly seats in the previous assembly elections. Before 2017, the city was among the dirtiest and investments didn’t come here. In comparison, the city now has an expressway and the country’s first rapid train will also commence here. We have restored people’s faith in safety and security. The Kanwar Yatra which passes through Ghaziabad is the biggest example of safety and faith,” CM Yogi added.
The CM also promised a convention centre for Ghaziabad residents, who have come from East U.P. and Uttarakhand. He also dedicated a new bridge on Hindon river at GT Road while laying the foundation stone of Purvanchal Bhawan, Uttaranchal Bhawan, and a green crematorium in Indirapuram. “We are working to provide you better civic amenities, including potable water and streetlights,” he further said.
The rally was attended by industrialists, entrepreneurs, youth, women groups, doctors, and engineers, among others.
