Yogi lays foundation stone of 'Chhoti Kashi' Gola Gokarannath Shiva Temple Corridor, launches 373 projects worth over Rs 1622 crore
LUCKNOW: Laying the foundation stone of the 'Chhoti Kashi' Gola Gokarannath Shiva Temple Corridor, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday stated that Lakhimpur Kheri has progressed beyond its status as a backward district. Adityanath also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 373 projects of over Rs 1622 crore.
"Lakhimpur Kheri has progressed beyond its status as a backward district. Nearly Rs 4500 crore worth of projects have been inaugurated and launched in this district," he said. "The fertile land here is like gold," he said.
Lakhimpur Kheri would soon become one of the most developed districts in the state, the chief minister assured.
He recalled Lakhimpur Kheri's underdevelopment at independence- plagued by malaria and poor accessibility despite the Dudhwa National Park.
