Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that Gorakhpur will be developed into a “textile hub” by focusing on the ready-made garment industry in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Speaking with representatives of Chamber of Industries in Gorakhpur, the Chief Minister said that the move would generate employment for a large number of migrant workers who returned to the state during the lockdown earlier this year.
According to state government’s estimates, about 12,000 migrant workers associated with the textile industry returned to Gorakhpur and adjoining districts of east UP during the lockdown.
