AgenciesPrime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 341 kilometre-long Purvanchal Expressway at Karwal Kheri in Sultanpur district on Tuesday .
The inauguration will be held at around 1:30 PM. The expressway starts from Chaudsarai, Lucknow located on Lucknow-Sultanpur road (NH-731) and ends at village Hydaria located on National Highway number 31, 18 kilometres east of the Uttar Pradesh-Bihar border.
The 6-lane wide expressway can be expanded to 8-lane in future and is constructed at an estimated cost of about Rs 22,500 crore. It is set to give a boost to the economic development of the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh especially the districts of Lucknow, Barabanki, Amethi, Ayodhya, Sultanpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Azamgarh, Mau and Ghazipur.
The project has sparked a war of words between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition Samajwadi Party (SP), with both parties taking credit for the construction of the project.
“Tomorrow is a special day for Uttar Pradesh’s growth trajectory. At 1:30 PM, the Purvanchal Expressway will be inaugurated. This project brings with it multiple benefits for UP’s economic and social progress," PM Modi tweeted. The Prime Minister will also see an airshow by the Indian Air Force on the 3.2 km long airstrip constructed on the Expressway in Sultanpur district following the inauguration.
