Super specialty hospital to be built in Bareilly: Yogi

Bareilly (UP), Apr 1 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday directed that a proposal be prepared for the construction of a super-speciality hospital in Bareilly, integrating 300 beds with the vacant land of the mental hospital.
During the divisional review meeting at the Vikas Bhawan auditorium, the CM directed the officials to submit the proposal to the government, emphasising that this initiative would enhance modern medical facilities in the region.
He also urged public representatives to adopt at least one TB patient each to raise public awareness about the disease. He highlighted the importance of addressing long-pending legal cases, stating that unresolved cases often lead to new crimes. He stressed the need for their swift resolution to maintain law and order.
Reaffirming Bareilly's status as a Smart City, Yogi directed that all divisional and district-level offices be housed under one roof for better governance. He directed the officials to draft a proposal for this initiative and make necessary arrangements.
To improve crime control and traffic management, he called for the effective implementation of the Intelligent Traffic Management System and mandated the verification of e-rickshaws and taxis.
During the meeting, Divisional Commissioner Saumya Agarwal provided updates on the region's progress, including completing 25 km of fencing in the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve. She also highlighted that between 2022 and 2024, 12 aspirational development blocks in the division had received recognition from both the central and state Governments.
Reviewing the resolution of revenue cases, the CM reiterated that cases pending for over a year often become flashpoints for disputes, affecting law and order. He directed the officials to expedite their resolution to ensure justice for the common people.
He directed that, as Bareilly serves as the commissionerate headquarters, a comprehensive record of all available government land should be prepared and handed over to the development authority. Besides, he directed that chambers and canteens for lawyers should be kept clean, and a conducive environment should be provided for the public.
