Noida readies for UP Day event today; CM to attend
NOIDA: The Noida authority is not leaving any stone unturned to beautify the city for an event to celebrate Uttar Pradesh foundation day, to be held Monday. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath is scheduled to attend the event in Noida on Monday at the Noida Haat in Sector 33A, located right in the heart of this industrial town.
This is the first time that any Uttar Pradesh chief minister will attend an event for the state’s foundation day in Noida. The state government celebrated the day with an event in Lucknow on Sunday.
The authority has painted city walls, central verge, repairing footpaths along roads near the venue and cleaning each nook and corner of areas in and around Sector 33A. “The CM had inaugurated the ₹101 crore indoor stadium on January 24. During Monday’s event, some more projects will be initiated while some others which are ready will be opened for public use. We have made all arrangements for the event,” said Rajeev Tyagi, chief general manager of the Noida authority.
According to the authority, the CM will inaugurate 40 projects worth a total of ₹295.66 crore, ncluding the resurfacing of the Noida-greater Noida Expressway, Vedvan Park in Sector 78, construction for community centres in multiple sectors, and development of a wetland in
Sector 91, etc. The CM will throw open a total of 26 projects having a budget of ₹410.69 crore, including an underground parking in Sector 16A, Biodiversity Park in Sector 91 and an underground parking in Sector 3, etc. UP’S foundation day is an annual event being held in the state since 1950.
Sources said the CM may reach Noida Haat via helicopter if weather permits, otherwise he will reach via car. “Since the Republic Day Parade is scheduled in Lucknow on Tuesday, he will return to the state capital right after the Noida event,” said a state government official, not authorised to speak to the media.
The CM is likely to reach at 12pm and the event will be over by 2pm, said officials.
