Yogi: Aligarh’s role important in ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’
LUCKNOW : Directing the officers concerned to fast track the Aligarh Smart City project, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath said here on Tuesday that Aligarh had an important role in the realization of the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat (self reliant India)’ dream.
Addressing the Aligarh division review meeting held through video conferencing with the officers of the division and associated districts, Yogi asked the divisional commissioner of Aligarh to be prompt in decision-making as the chairman of Smart City Mission. Under the project, the work on Integrate Command and Control Centre and beautification of Achal Taal should be done expeditiously, he added.
The CM reviewed the developmental projects of Aligarh division, comprising Aligarh, Kasganj, Etah and Hathras districts. There are 25 ongoing projects worth over Rs 50 crore in the entire division.
The CM said that Aligarh,
already one of the six nodes of the ambitious defence corridor project, was a hub of hardware manufacturing, including the lock industry, and had immense potential for industrialization and job creation in the state. He also asked for a departmental review of the construction of airport in Aligarh.
He praised the public representatives for taking interest in developmental projects and reminded the officials, in general, to take public representatives into confidence while preparing developmental projects.
The CM also asked them to prepare an action-plan to take the ODOP scheme forward. Like the lock industry of Aligarh, every district had some possibility or another to be explored under this scheme, he added.
