Azamgarh: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said that Azamgarh, once plagued by an identity crisis, has now transformed into a stronghold of indomitable courage. This change is the result of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s guidance and the efforts of the double-engine government, which have transformed Uttar Pradesh from a BIMARU state into an ‘expressway state’.
The CM inaugurated the 91.352 km long Gorakhpur Link Expressway built at a cost of Rs. 7,283 crore in Azamgarh. Amid the chanting of Vedic mantras, he cut the ribbon and dedicated the expressway to the public. “It will provide world-class connectivity.”
