Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 11 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday inaugurated Regency Hospital at Medical College Road in Gulharia, Gorakhpur.
Addressing the event, CM Yogi Adityanath said the hospital has the biggest ICU to date, with an 80-bed capacity, and will benefit over five crore people in the region.
‘The 80-bed ICU is the biggest ICU to date. You will see in the entire hospital how all precautions have been taken, which often leads to the spread of infection. If attention is not paid to any hospital, then it can become a medium of infection. This superspeciality hospital will become an excellent centre of health care for the five crore population of this region. There is no doubt about that,’ CM Yogi said.
He further noted that the hospital would provide easier access to high-quality facilities in Gorakhpur, which earlier required people to travel to cities like Lucknow, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Chennai.
‘Regency Hospital started its journey from Kanpur. Now they have started a chain. The facilities for which the common man has to go to places like Lucknow, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Chennai will now be available to him in his own district, in his own area. This Regency Hospital is presenting the example of that,’ he added.
On Saturday, CM Yogi visited Mathura, where he inaugurated 118 projects worth INR 646 crore and unveiled a INR 30,000 crore master plan for the holistic development of the Braj region on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami.
The projects include beautification of Parikrama paths, entrance gates, restoration of kunds, facilities for devotees, connectivity, water conservation, and environmental protection. He described the bhajans, kirtans, and Shri Krishna lilas organised in the Panchjanya Auditorium as part of the devotional atmosphere.
According to a press release, CM Yogi said Mathura reflects 5,000 years of ancient history and devotion. He added that the new master plan would connect pilgrimage sites like Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, and Gokul with the memories of the Dwapar Yuga.
‘Our government is committed to respecting the sentiments of revered saints and enriching the Braj region. We are making possible the works which were once considered impossible,’ CM Yogi said.
He also mentioned the ropeway facility in Barsana, calling it a great relief for the elderly. ‘This is the benefit of development, that we are continuously working for the convenience and safety of devotees,’ he added.
The Chief Minister further noted that India has completed 78 years of independence and highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of new resolutions for the centenary in 2047. Referring to the recent 24-hour discussion in the UP Assembly, he said society and government must work together to make Uttar Pradesh prosperous and developed by 2047.
