Principal Secretary of the Industrial Development Department, Alok Kumar mentioned on his X handle that, “The Phase 2 master plan of Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority has been approved by the Uttar Pradesh government. This will greatly benefit Aligarh and Mathura districts! The way has been cleared for the Chief Minister’s ambitious plan to connect Banke Bihari Ji’s temple with the Yamuna Expressway through a 6-lane expressway and to build heritage corridors on both its sides.”
