NEW DELHI, Jan 22: The Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday chaired a meeting of his state cabinet at the Maha Kumbh Mela site in Prayagraj before the entire cabinet took a holy dip in the “Triveni Sangam,” the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers.

Before taking the holy dip, CM Yogi and cabinet members fed migratory birds.

After the meeting, CM Yogi announced that three medical colleges would be established in Hathras, Kasganj and Baghpat. He further added that 62 Industrial Training Institute and 5 centres of Innovation, invention and training would be established across the state.

The decision to renew Uttar Pradesh Aerospace and Defence and employment policy was taken at the meeting. Additionally, to bolster investment in the state, the UP government would announce new incentives. “Uttar Pradesh Aerospace and Defence and employment policy has completed 5 years. It will be renewed. New incentives have been announced to attract more investment,” Yogi said.

CM Yogi announced the issuing of Municipal corporation bonds for Prayagraj Varanasi and Agra. “And bonds will be issued in these three important municipal corporations of Prayagraj, Varanasi and Agra. Till now we have issued bonds of Lucknow and Ghaziabad. Very good results have come out of this. This is an important medium for branding the municipal corporation and for its development and a new vision,” CM Yogi said.

CM Yogi announced establishing the Prayagraj-Chitrakoot development region on the lines of Lucknow. He also emphasized that Ganga Expressway will go from Prayagraj to Mirzapur to Bhadohi to Kashi, Chandauli and connect to the Purvanchal Expressway in Ghazipur. “This (Ganga) Expressway will connect Sonbhadra to the National Highway,” Yogi added.

After the cabinet meeting, the entire cabinet moved to Sangam for the holy dip in the Maha Kumbh. Deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya, Brajesh Pathak and other cabinet ministers were with the CM. The UP CM was seen offering thanks to God as he and his ministers took part in this spiritual moment.

Mr Maurya said the “joy” of taking the holy dip in Sangam can’t be described. “The joy cannot be described in words. A joint meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Cabinet was held here today in Maha Kumbh Prayagraj. Tough decisions have also been taken and preparations have started for the Ardha Kumbh of 2031 in the Maha Kumbh of 2025. It is spiritual bliss which I said cannot be expressed in words.” Maurya said.
