PM to lay foundation stone of Ganga Expressway on Dec 18
Continuing the spate of launching mega projects before Uttar Pradesh assembly elections slated early next year, the Yogi Adityanath government has decided to start work on the six-lane Ganga Expressway in December and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to lay its foundation in Shahjahanpur on December 18.
A large rally has been organised at Roza railway grounds in Shahjahanpur the same day.
The 594 km-long Ganga Expressway will start from Meerut and go up to Prayagraj, touching Hapur, Bulandshahr, Budaun, Shahjahanpur, Hardoi, Unnao, Rae Bareli and Pratapgarh districts. The six-lane expressway could be expanded to eight-lane later and is being developed at a cost of Rs 36,290 crore.
