Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar was one of the first people who met the CM and discussed about his plans for the filmcity that he plans to set up along the Yamuna Expressway in Gautam Buddha Nagar.
The UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath is expected to attend a listing ceremony for municipal bonds issued by the Lucknow civic body at the BSE on Wednesday morning, as per a statement by the Uttar Pradesh government. The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) had raised Rs 200 crore in the bond issue last month, and the state government feels the same route can be adopted by other cities like Ghaziabad, Varanasi, Agra and Kanpur.
Lucknow is the ninth city in the country to have adopted this route for fund raising and raised money at a coupon of 8. 5 per cent for 10 years.
In the statement, the state government said it has taken 186 reform measures in the last few years since Yogi Adityanath took over. The chief minister is slated to meet N Chandrasekaran of Tata Sons, Niranjan Hiranandani of the Hiranandani Group, Baba Kalyani of Bharat Forge, S N Subrahmanyan of L&T, Sanjay Nayar of buyout major KKR Ltd, among others, it said.
Yogi Adityanath had earlier unveiled an ambitious plan to set up a film city and rolled out an open offer to the film fraternity to come to Uttar Pradesh.
