Gorakhpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives Gorakhpur. Today he will give two major infrastructure projects, AIIMS and fertiliser unit that had been lying closed since 1990. In addition, Prime Minister will address a rally there. The public gathering will be organised at the old factory premises.

Later Narendra Modi will visit Gorakhnath temple to unveil the statue of former BJP MP and temple head priest Mahant Avaidyanath.

The new revived fertiliser factory when operational in five years time, would meet the growing demand of urea in Uttar Pradesh as well as several other states. Its capacity would be four times more than the earlier defunct fertiliser factory. While for building this factory, land requirement would be less.

The unit would reopen with sophisticated machines run on gas fuel to produce up to 3,850 tonnes urea per day against its earlier capacity of around 950 tonne.

A new AIIMS in Gorakhpur will help the local rural folk get state-of-the-art health facilities at no extra cost. AIIMS in Gorakhpur would cater to the residents of eastern UP as well as neighbouring Bihar and Nepal.
