Pending development works which were to re-start from Wednesday after the completion of lockdown period, have once again been put on hold after Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced phase two of lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Earlier on Monday, head of the construction committee set up by the government and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya had announced to start construction work across the state from Wednesday.
“The decision to resume construction works from April 15 in UP stands cancelled in view of the prime minister’s announcement to extend the lockdown till May 3,” Maurya said on Tuesday.
Talking to media persons, the deputy chief minister said that the date for starting work would be decided after studying the guidelines to be sent by the Centre on Wednesday.
However, Maurya appealed to the people to follow the lockdown norms strictly, ensure social distancing and stay indoors.
Earlier on Monday, the committee had decided to start construction work on Purvanchal and Bundelkhand expressways, Gorakhpur Link Expressway and other important projects of the Yogi Adityanath government from April 15.
