Ghaziabad now emerged as a model of cleanliness, well-organized city: UP CM Yogi

UP CM Yogi Adityanath praises Ghaziabad's transformation from crime hub to urban development model with rapid rail, expressways, and cleanliness initiatives.

"Ghaziabad today shines as the new Ghaziabad... now it is a model of cleanliness and well-organized city - Yogi Adityanath"

Ghaziabad, June 26

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said that Ghaziabad, once associated with crime and gang wars, has now emerged as a model of urban order, cleanliness and development.

Speaking to reporters, CM Yogi said, "Ghaziabad today shines as the new Ghaziabad. Where once gang wars and crime films were made in its name, now it is a model of cleanliness and well-organized city. It can be among the top 50 clean cities in the world..."

"10 years ago, no one would have thought that the district would be connected with a 12-lane Greenfield Expressway and the country's first Rapid Rail would pass through Ghaziabad, but today all this has happened. Today Ghaziabad also has Rapid Rail, 12-lane highway, metro, airport. No one could have imagined that it will be connected by a 12-lane Greenfield Expressway and it will be the first city in the country to have rapid rail... Where there used to be mountains of garbage, now there are city forests..." he added.

Earlier today, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath chaired a review meeting in Ghaziabad to take stock of development works and the prevailing law and order situation in the district.

According to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's Office (CMO), Chief Minister Adityanath met officials and public representatives during the meeting and issued several directives.

In light of the ongoing Kanwar Yatra, the Chief Minister instructed officials to ensure that kanwariyas do not face any inconvenience during their journey. He also reviewed the Hindon River rejuvenation project and emphasised the need to improve water quality and control pollution in the region.

In a step towards administrative transparency and digital governance, the Chief Minister launched the 'Pahal' portal under the Ghaziabad Development Authority.

The statement from the CMO reads, "In a meeting with officials and public representatives in Ghaziabad, CM Yogi Adityanath has directed that kanwariyas should not have to face any issues and all care for their convenience should be taken care of. CM gave directions for Hindon River rejuvenation project. He emphasised improving water quality and pollution control. CM launched 'Pahal' portal under Ghaziabad Development Authority."

As someone who grew up in Ghaziabad, the transformation is unbelievable! The expressway has cut my Delhi commute by half. But I hope they maintain these standards - last month I saw garbage piling up again near Raj Nagar. Development should be sustainable.

Rapid Rail is a game-changer for working women like me! 🚄 But what about last mile connectivity? Auto-walas still charge whatever they want near stations. Need proper feeder buses too. Otherwise great progress!

Cleanliness is good but what about jobs? All these infrastructure projects are nice but we need more industries and IT parks. Youth are still migrating to Noida/Gurgaon for work. Development should mean local employment too.

The Hindon River project gives me hope! 🌱 For years it was just a dirty drain. If they can actually clean it up and make it like Sabarmati Riverfront, it'll change Ghaziabad's image completely. Fingers crossed!

Good steps but too much focus on showpiece projects. What about basic amenities in old areas like Loni Road? Still facing water shortages and bad roads. Development should reach all corners, not just prime locations.

The 'Pahal' portal is a great initiative! 👍 Finally some transparency in GDA approvals. Had to pay so many bribes for my house plan approval last year. Hope this digital system reduces corruption at ground level.
