Uttar Pradesh to focus on housing and connected infra

04 Nov 2022 CW Team

Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, reviewed the state's new township policy on Tuesday, saying housing and connected infrastructure are essential for the planned and sustainable development of cities. In the last five and a half years, planned urbanisation has increased at a rapid pace in the state, and this should be encouraged further with future needs in mind, according to an official release quoting the chief minister. To make land more accessible to investors, the process of land mobilisation must be simplified. He also advocated for a single-window system for various approvals and clearances, saying that the process of changing land use should be simplified.
