Yogi Adityanath, while launching the projects and addressing the 'Prabhudhjan Sammelan, said, “Our zero tolerance towards crime has caused the dreaded mafia to flee for life. Now no one becomes a hindrance in terms of development or encroaches illegally on the land of the poor. Today houses are being built for the poor in Prayagraj on land freed from the illegal occupation of the mafia.”
The chief minister reaffirmed the government's commitment to the development of Sangam city by initiating 35 projects worth Rs 3.25 billion and laying the foundation stone for 249 projects worth Rs 9.69 billion.
Yogi also discussed the upcoming Prayagraj Kumbh in 2025. According to the CM, the 'Bhavya-Divya Kumbh' in 2019 was held at the holy Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj district. Completing such a large exhibition with safety and cleanliness was a record in itself. The event had established standards of cleanliness, safety and security. This event became a shining example of the government's leadership and public management capabilities. Prayagraj is currently preparing for the Kumbh Mela in 2025. “Advanced and modern urban amenities are made available in Prayagraj under the Smart City program. Prayagraj excels in the scale of 'Ease of Living',” added Yogi. Many dignitaries, including Deputy Prime Minister and Cabinet Minister Nand Gopal Nandi, spoke at the conference.
