Akhilesh Yadav's visit to Ghaziabad deferred again

GHAZIABAD: The proposed visit of Utaar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to Ghaziabad has been deferred to January 29, a senior official said here today.

However, District Magistrate Vimal Kumar Sharma said that no written communication has been received by the district authorities from CMO, Lucknow, about the visit.

Earlier Yadav had to come to Ghaziabad on January 22 to inaugurate a high-tech police control room but due to his busy schedule, the programme was deferred.

The high-tech control room is constructed at 47th PAC battalion premises Govind Puram.

The Chief Minister will also lay down foundation stone of Dilshad Garden-Ghaziabad and Yamuna Vihar-Loni-Ghaziabad metro rail projects and a six-lane flyover at Hapur Chungi here.

He will also inaugurate 18 other public utility schemes on which GDA will spend Rs 16 crore, Sharma said.
