GORAKHPUR, Nov. 18 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath, who reached Gorakhpur on Monday evening on a two-day visit, inspected the construction site of the Secretariat Security Force (SSF) second battalion building. Reviewing the architectural model and ongoing construction work at the site, he instructed officials to accelerate progress before the monsoon, increase machinery deployment, and fast- track all major components. "Finish the project four months before the October 2026 deadline. Rainfall after June slows down progress, so speed up the work while maintaining strict quality standards," the CM said. The public works department, the nodal agency for the project, informed Yogi that the second battalion complex will have a capacity of 1,000 personnel and that construction has reached 10% physical progress. Earlier in the afternoon, Yogi visited Basti district to pay homage to spiritual leader Nanda Baba, who passed away earlier this month, at his ashram. Remembering his lifelong service towards the protection of Sanatan Dharma and its values, the CM said, "Nanda Baba's life was devoted to service, devotion, and the strengthening of Sanatan Dharma. His contribution will always be remembered." HTC...
