The Chief Minister requested the Prime Minister to direct officials to give working permission for a proposed bridge, a flyover and broadening of a road in Lucknow, according to an official release.
Akhilesh also requested for release of Rs 396.54 crores for four laning of Shivpur-Lahartara road in Varanasi at the earliest, it said.
The CM stated that the proposed Pipraghat bridge on Gomti has been stopped because of the objections raised by Army for which letters have been sent to the defence minister in the past.
