CM Yogi unhappy over slow construction, orders action
YOGI STRESSES ON IMPORTANCE OF AYURVEDA
LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday expressed displeasure over the slow progress of construction work of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath Ayush University, Gorakhpur.
He directed Gorakhpur district magistrate Vijay Kiran Anand to register an FIR against those responsible for non-completion of the time-bound construction. “Action should be taken against the contractor and other persons responsible for delay in the soil filling work and construction of the university,” the CM said.
The chief minister was on a visit to Gorakhpur to review progress of construction work of the university.
President Ram Nath Kovind had laid the foundation stone of the university on August 28, 2021.
The CM directed the district magistrate to take strict action against the contractor and other persons if the soil filling work was not completed in two months and expected progress was not visible in construction work. “Action should be taken before the people responsible for delay in construction work move to court to put pressure on the state government,” he said.
Yogi directed divisional commissioner, Gorakhpur, Ravi Kumar NG and the district magistrate to regularly review the work.
“Quality of the construction work should be checked by a team of specialists,” he said.
After arriving at the Pipri village where the university is coming up, Yogi inspected the campus. He reprimanded officers of the public works department and the contractor for delay in the construction work.
“If the soil filling work is not completed before the onset of monsoon in June, it will be difficult to continue construction work,” he said. The officers assured Yogi that soil filling work will be completed by Mayend and construction will be completed in August next year.
The chief minister also asked the vice chancellor of the university professor AK Singh about his accommodation.
When the VC told him that he was staying in the IAS-PCS coaching building, near Premchand Park, the CM told him to make arrangement for a separate accommodation as students enrolled in the coaching centre might face problems.
LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said Gorakhpur’s Mahayogi Gorakhnath University had turned into a centre for allopathy and ayurveda medicines.
“The Ayurveda College, established on the university campus, is all set to bring a revolution in the field of medicine and medical education in east UP,” he said. Yogi, who is chancellor of the university, was interacting with the newly-admitted students of BAMS (first year) at Guru Gorakhnath Institute of Medical Sciences, an institution of the university.
After introduction with the 100 BAMS students, the CM said they will play important role in re-establishment of ayurveda. “This will also bring a positive change in the agriculture sector and the livelihood of farmers by promoting herbal farming,” he said. “Ayurveda will also play an important role in health and wellness of people. The Uttar Pradesh government is opening health wellness centres in every village,” he said. .
