UP Govt seeks new agreement on Ballia-Noida h'way

18 Mar 2013 CW Staff

The Uttar Pradesh government on March 14 told the UP assembly that it has sought fresh agreement from Jai Prakash Associates for the construction of Ganga Express Highway between Ballia and Noida. However, the government refused to specify whether it was keen to pursue the project, which was initiated by the previous Mayawati government. The Rs 30,000 crore project envisages eight-lane express highway from Noida to Ballia covering around 1,047 km in 10 hours.

The issue was taken up in the assembly when Congress member Akhilesh Pratap Singh asked the SP, which had opposed the project during BSP regime, whether it would initiate the project. Initially, Minister Shiv Pratap Yadav said the matter was sub judice and environment clearance was needed for the project, but later he said the JP Group has been asked for a fresh agreement.

When Singh asked the minister to reply in 'yes' or 'no' on whether the government was keen to start the project, the latter said anything could be said only after going through the new agreement to be submitted by the company.
