That metro ride must have been quite an experience for commuters! Though I wonder if there was extra security that made it inconvenient for regular passengers during his visit?

The 700 crore development package is impressive, but I hope the funds are properly utilized. We've seen too many projects get delayed or abandoned halfway in the past.

Good to see attention being given to both urban infrastructure (metro) and rural needs (storm relief). Balanced development is what UP needs right now!

The metro in Kanpur has been a game-changer! Used to take me 1.5 hours to cross the city - now just 30 mins. More such projects please! 🙌

While I appreciate the development focus, I hope the government also pays attention to maintaining existing infrastructure. Many roads in Gorakhpur need repairs more than new constructions.
