In a major development bringing much-needed relief to residents in western Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath government has officially approved a total budget of thirty-four crore ninety-one lakh rupees for infrastructure upgrades in Saharanpur and Behat. Aimed at resolving long-standing commuting and safety challenges, the newly sanctioned funds will finance the construction of a brand-new bridge over the Maskara River near Murtazapur village alongside the comprehensive reconstruction and strengthening of the heavily dilapidated Gandevad-Chilkana road.
Fulfilling Long-Standing Demands with the Maskara River Bridge
For years, local communities living near Murtazapur in सहारनपुर's Behat region have staged protests and demanded a reliable bridge over the Maskara River to ensure safe, all-weather connectivity. Addressing this critical public appeal, the Public Works Department's Expenditure Finance Committee has greenlit a dedicated allocation of sixteen crore sixty-nine lakh rupees. This funding will cover the complete construction of the bridge, necessary safety installations, and the development of proper access roads to streamline movement and eliminate daily travel hazards for rural commuters.
Comprehensive Strengthening of the Pothole-Ridden Gandevad-Chilkana Road
Commuters traveling along the vital Gandevad to Chilkana route are set for a smooth ride as the government has cleared an additional eighteen crore twenty-two lakh rupees for extensive road repairs. Minister of State Jaswant Saini confirmed that upgrade work will target the heavily damaged stretch, transforming the current pothole-ridden track into a durable, well-paved highway. Highlighting the administration's proactive stance, state officials emphasized that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath remains fully committed to swift regional development and addressing grassroots civic needs without delay.
Narrow Escape as Dilapidated House Wall Collapses During Heavy Rains
Amidst infrastructural milestones, weather-related emergencies also highlight ongoing rural challenges in the district. In Sadak Dudhli within the Kotwali Dehat police station jurisdiction, a dilapidated house wall suddenly collapsed around 6:00 PM on Tuesday evening following heavy rains. The home belongs to the grieving family of the late Nasir, housing his elderly mother Nusrat, a deaf and mute uncle Babar, and young children Adnan and Ahil. Fortunately, prompt reactions allowed the family members to narrowly escape physical harm despite the structural destruction, drawing local attention toward housing safety concerns during monsoon downpours.
