“How to use 5 hours saved by Ganga Expressway?”: Ravish Kumar
A major infrastructure push in Uttar Pradesh has drawn attention following the inauguration of the Ganga Expressway, which has reduced travel time between Meerut and Prayagraj from about 11 hours to nearly 6 hours.
The expressway marks a significant step toward better connectivity, lower fuel consumption, and increased economic activity across several districts. It is expected to make travel faster and more efficient while also easing the movement of goods, benefiting businesses and trade in the region.
While the project has been widely praised, journalist Ravish Kumar stirred debate by questioning how travellers would utilize the five hours saved due to the reduced journey time. His remarks drew criticism from many who argued that the emphasis should remain on the clear advantages of improved infrastructure and faster connectivity.
