After the decline in the Covid cases, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to give momentum to the construction of Purvanchal, Ganga Expressway, Bundelkhand and Gorakhpur Link expressways.
The plan was to complete the construction of 340 km long Purvanchal Expressway by April but the second wave of the Covid pandemic slowed down the construction activities as the state government shifted focus on strengthening the health facilities in the hospitals, maintaining oxygen supply, increasing sample test, vaccination, surveillance in the rural areas.
With the active Covid cases coming down to 52,244 on Friday from 3.10 lakh active cases on April 30, the construction activities have been expedited.
