NOIDA: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said his government was taking all required steps to make Noida an ‘ideal city for opportunit­ies and growth’.

“In the last three years, we are making all efforts to make Noida the epicentre of growth and jobs and opportunit­ies for youth. We have implemente­d the commission­erate system to provide smart policing to people and we are also working on projects for the welfare of the public. Noida is a window to Uttar Pradesh and the perception about this city reflects the image of our state,” Adityanath said, while inaugurati­ng the multilevel parking facility at Botanical Garden. The CM said the Noida Internatio­nal Greenfield Airport in Jewar will bring immense potential for growth and create thousands of jobs for the youth of this region.

This was Adityanath’s 12th visit to Noida after assuming office three years ago. “I visit Noida again and again to “break the jinx”, which was created by the earlier government. I come here to work as per the expectatio­ns of the people,”

he said at the event.

NOIDA: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said his government is taking all steps to make Noida an ‘ideal city for opportunit­ies and growth’.

“In the last three years, we are making every effort to make Noida the epicentre of growth and jobs and opportunit­ies for youth. We have implemente­d the commission­erate system to provide smart policing to people and we are also working on welfare projects. Noida is a window to Uttar Pradesh and the perception about this city reflects the image of our state,” Adityanath said, while inaugurati­ng the multilevel parking facility at Botanical Garden.

The CM said the Noida Internatio­nal Greenfield Airport in Jewar will bring immense potential for growth and create thousands of jobs for the youth .

This was Adityanath’s 12th visit to Noida after assuming office three years ago. “I visit Noida again and again to ‘break the jinx’, created by the earlier government,” he said.

Previous chief ministers had refrained from visiting Noida during their tenures as there was a belief among the political class that coming to Noida would lead to them losing power.

It started in 1988, when then chief minister Veer Bahadur Singh was asked to step down in June 1988 by the central leadership. He had just returned from Noida, when he was asked to relinquish office.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati, during her term as chief minister in 2007-12, attended programmes organised in Noida. But, when the BSP lost power in the 2012 assembly elections, the ‘jinx’ gained traction.

Adityanath also inaugurate­d police commission­er’s new headquarte­rs in Noida’s Sector 108 Sunday evening and stayed the night in Greater Noida’s Gautam Buddha University.

He expressed his gratitude to farmers, who have given their land for developmen­t of Jewar airport.

The work on Jewar airport is likely to start by April 2020. “The Jewar airport will help in developmen­t of the best smart city in this region,” Adityanath said.

WOMAN COP WITH CHILD IN HER ARMS

A woman constable carried her little son in her arms as she stood guard at an event attended by chief minister Yogi Adityanath here on Monday. Constable Priti Rani was among the hundreds of police personnel deployed for the visit. “His father had an exam to take today so he wasn’t able to be with our child and ultimately I had to take care of him,” Priti Rani said, holding her one-and-ahalf-year-old son.
