Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the Gorakhpur Link Expressway, connecting Jaitpur in Gorakhpur to Salarpur in Azamgarh and linking it to the Purvanchal Expressway. Spanning over 91 km and four districts, the four-lane access-controlled expressway significantly reduces travel time between Gorakhpur and Lucknow. Built at a cost of ₹7,283 crore, it is designed for future expansion to six lanes. Toll rates are yet to be announced, and the project marks a major step in UP’s growing expressway network.

Five Delhi residents, including a two-year-old child, were killed and one woman injured after their car overturned and caught fire in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr early Wednesday. The family was returning to Malviya Nagar from a wedding in Badaun when their CNG-powered vehicle hit a median near Anupshahr, said police. The lone survivor, Gulnaaz, is out of danger. Authorities suspect the driver may have dozed off, and investigations into the fire are ongoing.
