  • CM Yogi Adityanath has approved a proposal to demolish a part of Gorakhnath Temple boundary wall to widen the road connecting Gorakhpur to Sonauli. 
  • The wall and some adjacent shops were demolished on Friday after CM Yogi's instructions.
  • This has been done to facilitate the widening of the road connecting Gorakhnath Temple, Dharamshala, Mohdipur, Kudaghat, and Nandanagar with the airport.
  • Vinay Gautam, a senior staff of the temple said, "Earlier, Yogi did not attend his father’s funeral and chose duty over personal issues."
  • "And by ordering the demolition of the temple wall, the CM has sent out a strong signal that any construction would be demolished when the matter relates to public interest and development", he further added.
