MEERUT/PRAYAGRAJ, April 30 -- The 594-km Ganga Expressway, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated on Wednesday, is widely being seen as a transformative development for both access to justice and regional economic growth, with its most immediate impact expected on travel between western UP and Prayagraj. By cutting journey time from 10-12 hours to around 6-7 hours, the high-speed corridor is set to significantly ease the movement of thousands of lawyers, litigants and traders who routinely travel between the two regions. Advocate Rajesh Sharma, a Meerut-based lawyer, termed the development a "game-changer," saying it would allow lawyers to attend hearings and return the same day, improving efficiency. Allahabad High Court Bar Association president Rakesh Pandey said the improved connectivity would address long-standing concerns over the high cost of seeking justice. "Nearly 40% of the high court's lawyers come from western UP, and improved connectivity will make their commute much more convenient," he said. Advocate SPS Chauhan said, "With the expressway in place, travel time will be cut in half, saving both time and money. Litigants will also be able to attend hearings and return home the same day, eliminating hotel expenses."...
