Adityanath directs officials to accelerate road development projects in Gorakhpur, Basti
Chairing a high-level meeting, he reviewed upcoming road development projects in each assembly constituency and emphasised the need for a swift, priority-based rollout.
The chief minister was presented with road infrastructure plans for each constituency by senior officials of the Public Works Department , following which he interacted directly with legislators to assess future road requirements.
Stressing the importance of aligning road projects with public expectations, he instructed PWD officers to prepare plans accordingly.
"Submit road proposals as per the requirements of each constituency. The government will act promptly on them based on priority," Adityanath said.
Highlighting the government's efforts in boosting inter-state and four-lane road connectivity, he said that the Gorakhpur and Basti regions have significantly benefited.
He emphasised the importance of incorporating urban roads into the CM Grid Scheme and completing all road projects within a set deadline, without compromising quality.
"MLAs and MPs must continuously monitor construction activities in their areas to ensure quality and timeliness," Adityanath said, adding that "Road proposals received from public representatives should be taken seriously."
Prepare estimates for the most prioritised roads first, begin construction after laying the foundation stone, and then move to the next phase, he directed the officials concerned.
Responding to concerns raised by some representatives regarding roads damaged during floods, he ordered the PWD to draft a special action plan for strengthening roads in flood-prone areas, permitting the use of disaster relief funds for such repairs if necessary.
After the tourism department's brief on the ongoing tourism development works around religious sites, Adityanath said that all such places should be well connected to major roads.
"If any representative submits a proposal, ensure quick estimation and start of work," he directed the officials.
Calling Gorakhpur and Basti emerging symbols of development, he said public representatives play a pivotal role in shaping the progress narrative.
"Development is an ongoing process. Elected leaders must stay connected with the people, understand their aspirations, and forward well-thought-out proposals to the government," he said.
He said that convenience, safety, and prosperity of the people are the core goals of the government's policies, and urged representatives to inspect local projects regularly.
"Development initiatives also help enhance the public image of elected leaders," he remarked.

UP CM Adityanath flags power issues; warns against tripping, overbilling
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday emphasised that the state's power infrastructure is no longer merely a technical or administrative matter, but a reflection of public trust and a key indicator of government responsiveness. UP CM Adityanath flags power issues; warns against tripping, overbilling During a high-level review meeting with officials of the Power Department, Adityanath warned against tripping, overbilling, and unwarranted power cuts. "Every form of negligence must be addressed immediately. The power system is not just about transformers and wires, it's about public trust," the chief minister said, directing urgent reforms and improvements. In June 2025, Uttar Pradesh met a record peak power demand of 31,486 MW and supplied 16,930 million units, the government said in a statement. Despite soaring temperatures and humidity, uninterrupted power was reportedly provided—24 hours in urban areas, 21.5 hours in tehsils, and 18 hours in rural regions. Adityanath ordered comprehensive technical audits of all power feeders, instructing officials to identify weak points and fix them without delay. He stressed the need to enhance transformer capacity wherever overloading is occurring and underscored the importance of resolving consumer complaints in a timely and effective manner. "There is no shortage of resources. A record-breaking budget has been allocated to strengthen power generation, transmission, and distribution," he said. Accountability must be ensured at every level, he added, following a review with the Managing Directors of all DISCOMs. Highlighting issues in billing, Adityanath said inflated or incorrect electricity bills are unacceptable. "Every consumer must receive a clear, accurate bill on time. Errors in billing erode public trust and tarnish the department's credibility," he stated. Officials informed him that over 31 lakh consumers have been connected to smart meters, and implementation is progressing rapidly at the block level. The chief minister also directed a phased reduction of technical and commercial losses and called on each DISCOM to prepare a focused strategy to address them. He urged the speedy modernisation of transmission and distribution infrastructure. On the power generation front, officials reported that Uttar Pradesh's current installed capacity stands at 11,595 MW across thermal, hydro, renewable, and centrally supported projects. With upcoming units like Ghatampur and Meja, capacity is expected to rise to 16,000 MW in two years. Renewable energy is also set to cross the 100 MW mark. Adityanath directed continuous monitoring and timely completion of these projects. Focusing on agriculture, Adityanath called for faster separation of agricultural feeders and directed that all farm tubewells be transitioned to solar power under the PM KUSUM Yojana. This, he said, would provide long-term relief to farmers and reduce dependency on conventional power. Concluding the meeting, Adityanath reminded officials, "It is our responsibility to ensure electricity is delivered to every citizen transparently, promptly, and without discrimination."
