Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will inaugurate an elevated road here on Friday, District Magistrate Ritu Maheswari said today.

The district administration and Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has started preparing for a ceremonial function, she said.

However, a confirmation of his arrival is still awaited, she said, adding he will address a public meeting in Ram Lila ground in Kavi Nagar.

The elevated road will connect UP gate and Rajnagar extension. As per its design, the vehicle owners will be allowed to drive on an average speed of 80 kms per hour, Maheswari, who is also the vice chairperson of the GDA, said.

 

A Samajwadi Party MLC, Rakesh Yadav, inugurated the road on March 16 claiming the project was started during party's regime in the state.

An FIR was lodged against Yadav along with several SP workers.

The district magistrate had claimed that the inauguration of the elevated road was unacceptable and it will be open for public after a formal ceremony.
