Gorakhpur: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday directed officials of the Public Works Department (PWD) to expedite road construction projects in the Gorakhpur and Azamgarh divisions, emphasizing that all work must be completed within the stipulated timeframe without compromising on quality.
Review of Infrastructure Projects
Reviewing ongoing and proposed infrastructure projects at the Annexe Building in Gorakhpur, the Chief Minister sought detailed updates from senior officials on the progress of road and bridge construction across both divisions. He instructed authorities to launch a mission-mode drive to accelerate construction activities and ensure that projects scheduled before the monsoon are completed on time.
Priority for Public Representatives' Proposals
Yogi said road projects proposed by public representatives should be taken up on priority. He directed officials to secure all required approvals by the end of June and begin foundation-laying activities immediately thereafter. Adequate resources should be arranged before work starts to avoid interruptions, he added.
Priority-Based Road Development Plan
The Chief Minister also asked PWD officials to prepare a priority-based road development plan for all Assembly constituencies in the Gorakhpur and Azamgarh divisions under the 2026-27 action plan. He stressed timely completion of tendering and regular monitoring by divisional commissioners and district magistrates.
Strict Supervision and Technology Use
Emphasizing strict supervision, Yogi directed officials to conduct field inspections and strengthen online monitoring through technology. He also reviewed progress of the under-construction Mohan Setu in Deoria and ordered faster execution of the project while ensuring safety standards for workers.
