Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, during his visit to Kasganj on Tuesday, inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 60 development projects worth 724 crore.

Among the highlights was the inauguration of the newly constructed state-of-the-art police lines, developed across 25.63 hectares at a cost of 191 crore. The Chief Minister said the newly built police lines would serve as a milestone in the modernisation of the Uttar Pradesh Police.

Addressing the public, the CM emphasised that the double-engine government is committed to preserving Kasganj's mythological and spiritual heritage and equally focused on upgrading its infrastructure.

He noted that since its formation in 2008, Kasganj had long been deprived of development, which was never a priority for pre-2017 governments. "Anarchy and corruption defined those regimes," he remarked, "but today, Kasganj is progressing rapidly on the development path."
