Approves bridge over Ganga at Dengurpur near Sitamarhi and ROB on Gopiganj-Mirzapur rail line

Bhadohi : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Bhadohi on Monday, where he conducted a review meeting with local public representatives on the district’s development projects. Acting on their demands, he announced several key development initiatives, stating that Bhadohi is widely known for its exceptional craftsmanship and is progressing in the right direction.

Responding to demands raised by local representatives, CM Yogi granted immediate approval for a bridge over the Ganga River near Dengurpur in Sitamarhi and a Railway Over Bridge (ROB) on the railway line between Gopiganj and Mirzapur. He noted that while an auditorium had already been sanctioned for the district headquarters, it is now being developed as a multipurpose hall.

The CM also prioritized residential facilities for officers and staff at the headquarters and sought a report on the status of outsourced sanitation workers under the Panchayati Raj Department. Additionally, he directed officials to improve road connectivity to the district headquarters and expedite work on the approved mini-stadium.

The CM remarked that ten years ago, the carpet industry was in a dire state, but with inspiration from Prime Minister Modi, local artisans received significant encouragement. As a result, Uttar Pradesh now contributes 60% of the country’s carpet exports, with Bhadohi alone accounting for more than 60% of that figure. The district has also received a GI tag for its carpets. In light of this, both the Centre and the state supported the development of the Carpet Expo Mart.

CM Yogi emphasized that Bhadohi’s craftsmanship has given both the state and the country a unique identity. Multiple government-led initiatives have been launched to support entrepreneurs and artisans. The aim is to further promote and support India’s ancient handicrafts and establish a stronger international market presence.

The Chief Minister inspected the district hospital and stated that it had become a symbol of past governments’ inefficiency and corruption. He stated that the current government has revived the stalled project and resumed development work at the facility.

The Chief Minister reviewed the ongoing construction of a new 50-bedded critical care center and informed that funds have been sanctioned for renovating the hospital’s old building. The Rajkiya Nirman Nigam has been assigned to complete the work by December 2025. He also stated that efforts are underway to establish a medical college in Bhadohi under the PPP model, with preparations underway to meet the necessary standards.

Furthermore, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that land requirements for Kashi Naresh Rajkiya PG College have been submitted, and an agricultural faculty is already functional with manpower being provided. If over 50 acres of land becomes available, the institution could be developed into a state university—marking a significant milestone for Bhadohi.

The CM also praised the collaborative efforts of the district administration, public representatives, and citizens in rejuvenating the Morwa river. Additionally, he directed officials to effectively expand the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign.
