Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath inaugurates multiple projects in Mathura
Ahead of Janmashtami, the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath laid the foundation stone of about 178 projects worth Rs 1037 crore on Sunday. The CM is on a two-day visit to the city, which is significant for the Hindu community for being the birthplace of Lord Krishna and is witnessing grand celebrations on the occasion of Janmashtami. A series of projects have been inaugurated in the Braj region.
CM Yogi Adityanath inaugurated a newly built auditorium at Dampier Nagar, the Radha Rani ropeway in Barsana, the Yamuna cruise. The Radha Rani ropeway will make it convenient for visitors and devotees who earlier had to climb 251 steps to reach the Radha Rani temple. The ropeway project, executed by the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority (MVDA) under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model, cost INR 15.89 crore. The ropeway spans 300 meters, is at a height of 30 metres from the ground and takes roughly 7 minutes to reach the temple. Other projects inaugurated by the CM include Panchajanya Auditorium, Laxman Shaheed Memorial Auditorium, Tehsil building of Goverdhan and multi-level parking.
The CM says
“Prime Minister Modi has set a goal to make India a developed country by 2047. India will not just be developed, there will be coordination of both development and heritage, and we have to end traces of slavery. I will call upon the saints to come forward and move forward together to unite society,” the CM said at the inaugural event. The CM also expressed concern about the situation in neighbouring Bangladesh saying that Hindus are being tortured in the country and temples being demolished amid the current political crisis.
