Mulayam Singh Yadav lays foundation stone of Agra-Lucknow Expressway

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav laid the foundation stone of the Agra-Lucknow Expressway here on Sunday.

"I'm happy that many good policies have been initiated, but work is being done at a slow pace," said Singh.

The Samajwadi Party chief further stressed on the need to complete the project on time.

According to the state officials, the Agra-Lucknow Expressway project is scheduled to be completed in the next two years.

A programme had been organised at Hingot Kheria in Agra from where the expressway would start.

The expressway will be about 270 km in length. The six-lane eco-friendly expressway is proposed on minimum distance and minimal agricultural land formula.
