In a testament to Lucknow’s burgeoning development, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath hailed the city’s progress, stating it embodies the vision cherished by the late former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His remarks came during an event on Monday at the Jupiter Hall of Indira Gandhi Pratishthan.
Speaking at a program organised at Jupiter Hall of Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, he added that the 104-kilometer-long and 8-lane Lucknow Outer Ring Road, also known as Kisan Path, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated from Gurugram, would solve the problem of traffic jam in Lucknow.
