On

this occasion, the Chief Minister stated that the state government is

continuously working to develop a modern and safe road and bridge network

throughout Uttar Pradesh, including Gorakhpur. These projects will not only

industrial, commercial, and social activities. Public representatives,

administrative officials, and a large number of local citizens were present at

the inauguration ceremony. Residents expressed their gratitude to the Chief Minister

for these development projects and called them a new chapter in Gorakhpur's
