Now the journey is going to be easy for the devotees going to Shri Kalki Dham Temple located in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. A four-lane road will be built directly from Ganga Expressway to Shri Kalki Dham. The Uttar Pradesh government has approved a project worth more than Rs 140 crore for the construction of this approximately 18 km long route. The construction of this road will not only facilitate the devotees to reach the temple, but is also expected to change the face of many villages on the way.
According to the Public Works Department, this four-lane road will connect Shri Kalki Dham Temple located in Ainchoda Kamboh village of Sambhal to Khirni Interchange of Ganga Expressway. More than Rs 140 crore will be spent on the construction of this 18 kilometer long route. This work is targeted to be completed in the financial year 2026-27. Sambhal District Magistrate Ankit Khandelwal said that this project will be completed in two parts. The first part will be from Ganga Expressway to Shri Kalki Dham and the second part will be from Shri Kalki Dham to Joya. Rs 140 crore has been sanctioned for the first part. Out of this, Rs 14 crore has also been released.
The road from Kalki Dham to Joya will also be widened
In the second phase of this project, about 14.5 km road from Ainchoda Kamboh to Joya is to be widened. For this, land will be acquired on both sides of the road. The administration has also received approval for this process. It is estimated that about Rs 32 crore will be spent on land acquisition. After the completion of the land acquisition process, the proposal for road widening will be sent to the government. After this the construction work of this part will be carried forward.
Many villages will benefit from development
Construction of four lane road will provide better connectivity to many nearby villages. Presently there was problem of encroachment in many parts of this route. After the project was approved, the administration also launched a campaign to remove encroachments. With the construction of the new road, it will be easier for devotees to reach Kalki Dham from Ganga Expressway. Also, local people are expected to get new opportunities for transportation, business and employment. The construction work of the temple is also going on. In such a situation, better road connectivity can also promote religious tourism in this area in the future.
