Hardoi. On the occasion of inauguration of Ganga Expressway, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that today not only roads are being built in Uttar Pradesh, but with them the entire state is developing rapidly. He described it as the identity of the “new Uttar Pradesh” and said that this expressway will become a new lifeline for the economy, connectivity and employment. According to the Prime Minister, Ganga Expressway is not an ordinary road project, but a strong foundation for the economic, social and industrial transformation of the state.
Ganga Expressway Expansion Plan: Connectivity to Haridwar
The Prime Minister said that this expressway is associated with the blessings of Mother Ganga and its name has also been kept after her. Now people will be able to reach Sangam and Kashi in less time. He said that earlier the crops of the farmers did not reach the market on time, but now the expressway will reduce this problem and the income of the farmers will increase.
Products like sports goods of Meerut, handloom of Hardoi, leather of Unnao and Amla of Pratapgarh will get new markets. This expressway will attract industries in 12 districts and increase employment opportunities for the youth. This project, which was completed in just five years, is now moving towards expansion till Haridwar and a big network will be created by connecting it to other expressways.
