Mathura: A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a huge gathering at Farah, his government has pledged Rs 130 crore to initiate a slew of infrastructural projects in Mathura.
Local MP Hema Malini said the funds would be primarily used to promote tourism in the region. Malini, who had organized the Mathura Mahotsava last month, said the cash injection would "promote tourism, bolster the local economy and raise the profile of Braj region".
The BJP lawmaker said it was because of her activism that the Modi administration declared Mathura a heritage city and allocated money to build roads.

However, many people were left disappointed over lack of any action to clean the Yamuna. Saints and ascetics of Barsana, spearheading the Yamuna Muktikaran Abhiyan, said the PM Modi had "betrayed their faith" because he failed to announce any measure meant to clean up the river.
