CM Yogi to inaugurate Gkp link e-way, flag off safety fleet on June 20
Gorakhpur: Chief Minister will inaugurate the Gorakhpur Link Expressway and flag off a specially designated safety fleet on June 20. The expressway will connect Jatipur village on National Highway-27 in Gorakhpur with Salarpur village on Purvanchal expressway in Azamgarh. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The districts falling on the expressway include Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Ambedkar Nagar and Sant Kabir Nagar. The CM is likely to inaugurate the expressway from Gorakhpur and Azamgarh simultaneously on June 20. "The expressway will offer not only speed and connectivity but will also ensure comprehensive road and commuter safety. Plans are also underway to implement an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), similar to the one on the Lucknow-Agra Expressway, for continuous surveillance and enforcement," a govt spokesperson said. Developed by the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), the safety fleet will include five SUVs, campers, four ambulances, two cranes and a hydra vehicle. "The SUVs will patrol the expressway round-the-clock in eight-hour shifts, with each vehicle manned by four ex-servicemen," said UPEIDA's nodal security officer Rajesh Pandey. The camper vehicles, open at the rear, will be equipped with traffic cones, ropes and radium strips. "In case of accidents or breakdowns, these vehicles will be deployed immediately to secure the area, preventing inconvenience or danger to other commuters. Ambulances will be stationed every 45km on both sides of the road along the 9-km expressway to ensure quick medical response," the spokesperson said. "Cranes will be positioned every 45km, along with one hydra vehicle to cover the entire stretch. In case of vehicle failure, small and medium vehicles would be moved using cranes and large vehicles will be shifted via the nearest chainage point," he said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to the guidelines issued by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), no broken-down vehicle is allowed to remain on the expressway. The Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) will be implemented to strengthen road safety. The system includes the installation of CCTV cameras every 5km, monitored from a central control room. It will also involve speed cameras and number plate readers (NPRs) to detect and report violations. Any instance of speeding will be automatically flagged to the respective district's Assistant Regional Transport Officer (ARTO) for swift action, the statement said. 'Connectivity to boost industry, create jobs' Southern Gorakhpur, long considered one of the district's most underdeveloped regions, is poised for a major industrial leap with the upcoming Gorakhpur Link Expressway, set to become backbone of a massive industrial township taking shape in Dhuriyapar. Spread over 5,500 acres, the proposed township — dubbed 'Greater GIDA'—is being developed by Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA). So far, around 600 acres have been acquired, spanning nearly 18 villages. Once completed, it will be Purvanchal's largest industrial land bank and is expected to host a wide range of industries, particularly in the electronics manufacturing sector. "Major industrial players have already shown interest. Adani Group has proposed a cement plant under the ACC brand, while Shri Cement and Keyan Distillery have also sought land for their units," a govt spokesperson said. The area has already seen establishment of a compressed biogas plant by Indian Oil on the premises of a defunct sugar mill. Officials said the industrial township is expected to generate over 10,000 jobs, giving a fresh push to the region's economy. "With Gorakhpur Link Expressway providing enhanced connectivity and infrastructure, Dhuriyapar is set to become a key destination for investors. The transformation of this once-backward belt into an industrial powerhouse marks a new chapter in eastern UP's growth story," he said.
