Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 16 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the Gurudwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha at Paidleganj in Gorakhpur on Monday to inaugurate tourism development works aimed at enhancing infrastructure and improving the visitor experience. Gorakhpur MP Ravi Kishan was also present at the event.
Earlier in the day, CM Yogi said that Gorakhpur has become a symbol of the new India and the new Uttar Pradesh, highlighting the city's progress, including the reduction of encephalitis cases, improved safety, and the reopening of the fertiliser factory.
Speaking at the inauguration of new convention centres, the Chief Minister said, ‘This is the new Gorakhpur of new India and new Uttar Pradesh. About 12–15 years ago, when people from Gorakhpur had to go somewhere, they had to hide their identity. There was a crisis of identity. Till eight years ago, thousands of people used to die due to encephalitis in this season. But now there is no disease, and the causes of the disease have been found and treated.’
He added, ‘Now the goons cannot pose a threat to the safety of daughters and businessmen. The previous governments had closed the fertiliser factory. Today, the fertiliser factory of Gorakhpur has started. This shows that development has taken place.’
The Chief Minister inaugurated the Kalyan Mandapams (convention centres) in Gorakhpur, with BJP MP Ravi Kishan also present at the occasion.
Later, CM Yogi attended the 42nd conference of the Uttar Pradesh Judicial Services Association, where he emphasised that for the country to achieve good governance, justice must be accessible and swift.
Addressing the gathering, he said, ‘In its 102 years of history, the Uttar Pradesh Judicial Service Association has achieved many accomplishments. The judicial officers present here are a testament to unity, cooperation and professional efficiency. I extend my warm greetings to you all on this occasion. It is a matter of pride that the country's biggest high court is located in our state.’
