The Chief Minister urged public representatives from districts without bypass roads to submit proposals based on local requirements. He emphasized that sufficient funds have been allocated to improve connectivity to religious, spiritual, historical, and mythologically significant sites, as better roads are essential for boosting tourism.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has adopted a 'mission mode' approach to ensure improved road connectivity across the state, from hamlets to village panchayats, towns, and cities. He has directed all MPs and MLAs to submit proposals within the next 15 days for the construction of new roads, bypasses, and bridges, as well as the repair of existing ones in their constituencies.
During a video conference with public representatives on Tuesday, the Chief Minister emphasized the need for quality roads in both rural and urban areas and urged lawmakers to actively engage in this effort. He assured that there is no shortage of funds for road projects and instructed public representatives to work closely with the district administration and core committees, under the supervision of the district minister in charge, to draft proposals. Wherever a new road, repair, bridge, ring road, bypass, district road, or service lane is needed, proposals should be submitted for immediate government approval.
The Chief Minister further stressed that even villages with a population as small as 250 should have access to paved roads.
