During the event, the Chief Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 114 development projects worth Rs 360 crore.

He further noted that, following the consecration of the grand temple of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, he had the privilege to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for projects totaling Rs 360 crore in Sant Kabir Nagar.
