Prime MinisterNarendra Modiis likely to inaugurate the 341km-longPurvanchal Expressway, between Lucknow and Ghazipur, on November 16.
This is one of the several projects in the state lined up to be inaugurated by the PM, who is expected to set the political temperatures of poll-bound UP soaring by making frequent visits to inaugurate or lay the foundation stone of mega projects in November and December.
According to UP government, the PM is scheduled to dedicate the Purvanchal Expressway from Sultanpur on November 16. Constructed at an estimate cost of Rs 42,000 crore, the expressway is being touted as a Catalyst to boost development in socio-economically impoverished east UP. The foundation stone of Purvanchal Expressway was laid by Modi in Azamgarh in July 2018.
