PRAYAGRAJ: After a spate of incidents in Sangam city where two-wheeler or bicycle riders sustained serious injuries to their throats and faces after running into thin Chinese kite threads or manja on any of the flyovers of the city, comes welcome news for the commuters who frequently cross these flyovers.
Following approval from the state government as many as 11 flyovers of the city would be installed with ‘view cutter’, the fibre-wall which is installed on both sides of the flyover. The state government has sanctioned an amount of 20 crores for installing view-cutters on the flyovers of Prayagraj as well as the neighbouring district of Kaushambi. Because of these view-cutters, the commuters would have a Six feet wall beside them which would be protecting them as they cross the flyovers.

PRAYAGRAJ: The crackdown against over two dozen jailed gangsters, history-sheeters and mafias including ex-MP Atiq Ahmad by joint teams of police, district administration and Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA), especially from August onwards, has resulted in a loss of over Rs 700 crore for them till now. Joint teams of PDA, police and administration claimed to have freed at least 34 prime properties from the clutches of gangsters, mafia dons and history-sheeters in the city, trans Ganga and Yamuna areas.
After the announcement made by chief minister Yogi Adityanath that land reclaimed from gangsters in the ongoing drive against the mafia will be used for constructing houses and given to poor, lawyers, teachers and media persons on “no profit and no loss basis,” the officials of Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) have drafted a blueprint to develop five plots freed as part of the drive at Panki ki tanki, Nawab Yusuf road, Lukerganj and Mehdauri areas
