GORAKHPUR, May 16: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made a major announcement in the interest of sports and players while performing the Bhoomi Pujan and foundation laying ceremony of the International Cricket Stadium in Gorakhpur. He said that a world-class Sports Complex would be built on the 60 acres of land reserved adjacent to this International Cricket Stadium.
In the presence of Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, while addressing the gathering after performing the Bhoomi Pujan and foundation laying ceremony of the International Cricket Stadium to be built at a cost of around Rs 393 crore in Tal Nador, Gorakhpur on Saturday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "While an International Cricket Stadium with a seating capacity of 30,000 spectators would be built on 46 acres here, a world-class Sports Complex would also be constructed on the adjoining 60 acres of land."
He added, facilities for all kinds of indoor games would be made available there, while outdoor games like hockey would also be possible. With the construction of the International Cricket Stadium and Sports Complex, a new chain of hotels, restaurants and markets will emerge in the area, and a large number of new employment opportunities will also be generated. Discussing the developmental transformation taking place in the Tal Nador area, the Chief Minister informed, a few years ago this area was barren and neglected, and anyone could encroach upon it at will. Now, the land here has been freed from encroachment. The double-engine government is providing an excellent platform on this land to shape the future of youth. CM Yogi stated, "The government has made the state mafia-free, hooliganism-free, riot-free and curfew-free. Due to this, the state is moving forward on the path of development. When development takes place, employment generation happens automatically. People who divide society in the name of caste, language and region cannot be well-wishers of the public. When such people got power, they spread hooliganism, anarchy and disorder. Instead of public welfare, they misused power for their families. But the double-engine government is working for public welfare and employment generation." |
