He also inspected the Manduadeeh bridge and the under-construction Samneghat-Ramnagar bridge over the Ganga.

Though the foundation of the 922-metre Samneghat bridge was laid in 2005 by then chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, work has remained incomplete.

Adityanath also went to Sankuldhara, a pond that is being rejuvenated.
