The Uttar Pradesh government will boost industrial activity and infrastructure projects in those districts that have low coronavirus infection load.

Earlier, the Adityanath government had announced that it was deferring the conditional restarting of select industries from Monday (April 20) in districts that have more than 10 active cases of coronavirus.

This means 19 out of 75 districts have failed to avail industrial activity relaxation provided by the Centre. These 19 districts house all the major industrial hubs in UP viz. Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida), Agra, Lucknow, Kanpur, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Varanasi, Moradabad, Firozabad, Saharanpur, and Rampur, among others.
