PM kick-starts ₹8,000-cr infra projects in Gujarat

The Prime Minister has laid foundation stones for over ₹8,000 crore worth projects in Banaskantha, Gujarat including launching irrigation and water infrastructure projects, which will help in irrigation facilities across Banaskantha, Patan and Mehsana, among other districts.

Recalling the tough times that the state has faced in the past, it is the unfailing quest of the people of Gujarat that gives them the strength to deal with any adversity with whatever resources they have. Adoption of drip irrigation by farmers of North Gujarat has given a boost to agriculture activities in the region. Apart from this, the PM also dedicated two railway projects worth over ₹2,900 crore at Ahmedabad to the nation. These projects include the Ahmedabad-Himmatnagar-Udaipur Gauge Converted Line and Lunidhar-Jetalsar Gauge Converted Line and flag off new trains between Bhavnagar and Jetalsar and between Asarwa and Udaipur.
