Seven overbridges will be built on the highway at a cost of Rs 400 crore.

Jagran correspondent, Basti. Seven overbridges will be built in Basti district on Gorakhpur-Lucknow highway. For this, about Rs 400 crore has been approved by the Central Government. This information was first given by former MP and Assam in-charge Harish Dwivedi by posting it on the internet media. For this his supporters started congratulating him.

After this, the supporters of MP Ram Prasad Choudhary also started giving credit to the MP for this. At present, the photo of both the leaders with Union Transport Minister, Government of India Nitin Gadkari is going viral.

Former MP Harish Dwivedi has written on his Facebook wall that on my request, a total of seven overbridges in Basti district on Basti-Gorakhpur National Highway have been approved by Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari.

These overbridges will be built at Vikramjot, Sansaripur, Kaptajganj, Tilakpur, Polytechnic intersection, Parsajafar and Kante intersection. This development-oriented decision will prove to be a milestone for the development and safe travel of the colony.

By the way, let us tell you that there was a demand for overbridges at those places since long. Because this area remains very crowded. There is inconvenience for vehicles here and there is often jam. Sometimes traffic police also have to be involved to control the situation.

There is often traffic jam at Polytechnic intersection. After this this plan has been approved. The construction of the overbridge will provide great convenience to the common people. However, there is a need for an overbridge at Patel intersection also.

Here too, there is often a long traffic jam for vehicles to cross. There was a demand for this also, but it is expected that it will be considered in the next phase.

Former block chief Gulab Sonkar said that the MP had met the Union Minister for the overbridge. On August 9, 2024, MP Ram Prasad Chaudhary met Union Minister Nitin Gadkari for the flyover bridge at Kaptanganj intersection, Patel Chowk intersection and Polytechnic intersection on National Highway 28.

In this matter, Project Director of National Highway Authority of India, Gorakhpur, Lalit Pratap Pal said that the area of ​​Basti is under Ayodhya. DPR for the overbridge was prepared and sent. The approval file has not reached us yet.

Chyawanprash is a part of every Indian's life, it reduces diseases and increases energy.
