The central government is reportedly expecting co-operation of Uttar Pradesh government to speed-up delayed road projects of NHAI and ensuring toilets in every school. Source inform that some of the significant NHAI roads like Lucknow-Allahabad, Bareilly-Lucknow, Aligarh-Kanpur, Rae Bareli-Tanda, Rae Bareli-Banda are pending due to land acquisition or mining related issues.
On the other hand, the state government is reportedly ready to pursue the case for three significant projects, which includes Project Implementation Board (PIB) clearance for All India Medical Institute in Gorakhpur, Lucknow Metro and International Airport in Agra, which is pending due to certain objections from Air Force.
“We are ready with the issues. While the focus of central government is more on roads and toilets in schools, we would be pushing for clearance for Lucknow Metro, International Airport in Agra and AIIMS in Gorakhpur” said Chief Secretary, Alok Ranjan.
