Roads and bridges not only provide connectivity, but also marketing. The services also get a better atmosphere. Farmers and small traders can easily take their goods to the market, and they get good rates. He said that a network of roads has been laid in Uttar Pradesh as per the aspirations of the people of Uttar Pradesh. And we are working continuously in this direction. He also said that we are giving special emphasis on rural roads. In view of the problem of traffic jam in the urban area, decisions have been taken to build more and more bypasses, flyovers are being built. A large number of rail overhead bridges are being built. And along with the river bridge, pontoon bridges are also being constructed. Ring roads are under construction in many big cities. Three meters wide roads are being made five meters. About two and a half thousand unconnected habitations with a population of up to 250 are being connected with connectivity routes this year. The newly constructed flyover was inaugurated by the department. With the construction of this bridge, the common people passing through here will get the facility of jam-free traffic and will also save time. He took public hearing of the problems and complaints of the general public at the Circuit House of Jhansi and directed the concerned officers to resolve all the complaints.
