Chief Minister Yogi to inaugurate key public welfare projects in Gorakhpur

Gorakhpur : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will inaugurate two significant public welfare projects in Gorakhpur on Monday, marking a major enhancement to the city’s civic infrastructure. The ambitious projects, developed under initiatives proposed by the Uttar Pradesh government, include a state-of-the-art Urban Facilitation Centre and the city’s first dedicated Senior Citizen Care Centre.

The three-story Urban Facilitation Center, constructed for Rs. 1171.64 lakh, stands prominently opposite Gorakhpur Club in the Civil Lines area. The modern G+2 structure is fully equipped with advanced facilities, including comprehensive fire safety systems, cafeteria services, elevators, and complete air conditioning throughout the building. This center represents a significant step toward bringing municipal services closer to citizens’ doorsteps.

The facility will serve as a one-stop solution for residents from all wards under Zone 3 of the Gorakhpur Municipal Corporation. Citizens can access a comprehensive range of municipal services, including property tax assessment and payment, sewerage services, street lighting maintenance, road construction and repair, and issuance of critical documents such as birth and death certificates.

Municipal officials emphasise that the centre will streamline the process for residents to pay various municipal taxes, water charges, and sewer taxes conveniently and efficiently. Additionally, the center will feature highly trained and courteous staff who will provide detailed information about all municipal schemes and programs. Modern digital interfaces and information counters will further enhance the citizen experience.

In a parallel development addressing the needs of the elderly population, the Chief Minister will also inaugurate Gorakhpur’s first Senior Citizen Care Centre. Developed for Rs. 250 lakh under the State Smart City initiative, this specialized facility caters to senior citizens living alone.

The comprehensive Senior Citizen Care Centre offers a wide array of amenities designed for the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the elderly. These include a spacious yoga hall, engaging indoor games, a well-stocked library, a comfortable cafeteria, regular health check-up facilities, doctor consultations, professional physiotherapy services, a fully equipped gym, and a collection of spiritual books.

The center will conduct regular yoga sessions to help senior citizens maintain physical fitness and mental alertness. Professional physiotherapists will be on-site to address age-related mobility issues and provide therapeutic interventions. The facility also includes a dedicated counselling corner where elderly residents can receive information about various government welfare schemes specifically designed for senior citizens.

Both projects reflect the Uttar Pradesh government’s commitment to enhancing public service delivery infrastructure and addressing the needs of various demographic segments in Gorakhpur. The inauguration ceremony is expected to be attended by local elected representatives, senior administrative officials, and prominent citizens of Gorakhpur.
