In this historic tour, the Prime Minister will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of thousands of crores of projects, which will bring a major change in the lives of the general public in important areas such as connectivity, energy, health and urban development. This tour will not only strengthen the infrastructure of these states, but will also create new employment opportunities and speed up the regional economy. This step of the Prime Minister will prove to be an important milestone towards realizing the resolve of ‘developed India’.
Bihar gets a new engine of development
The Prime Minister’s visit to Bihar will prove to be a boon for the state. He will lay the foundation stone and inauguration of several projects worth more than Rs 13,000 crore in Gaya. The most special of these projects is the Anta-Syaria bridge over the Ganges river, which will reduce the distance between North and South Bihar more than 100 kilometers. This bridge will not only smooth traffic, but will also connect the districts of North Bihar like Begusarai, Supaul, Madhubani, Purnia directly to the districts of South Bihar like Sheikhpura, Nawada, Lakhisarai. This will make the movement of goods easier and will boost regional trade. Along with this, there will also be freedom from the severe traffic jam on the old Rajendra Setu.
This bridge will also provide better access to the famous shrine Simaria Dham, which will make religious journey easier for people. In this episode, the four -lane national highway from Bakhtiyarpur to Mokama will also be inaugurated, which will reduce the travel time significantly.
Revolution in energy and health
The Prime Minister will inaugurate the Buxar Thermal Power Plant at a cost of Rs 6,880 crore to strengthen the power sector in Bihar. This power plant will not only strengthen the energy security of the state, but will also meet the demand for increasing electricity. Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Center will be inaugurated in Muzaffarpur to promote health facilities. This state-of-the-art center will provide advanced and affordable treatment to cancer patients from Bihar and neighboring states, so that they will not have to travel to far-flung metros for treatment.
Gift of urban development and rail connectivity
Under the Swachh Bharat Mission, a sewerage treatment plant (STP) built under Namami Gange will be inaugurated in Munger, which will help reduce pollution in the Ganges river. Apart from this, the foundation stone of urban infrastructure projects worth Rs 1,260 crore will also be laid, including STP and water supply projects in Aurangabad and Jehanabad. These projects will improve people’s standard of living by providing clean drinking water and better hygiene.
The Prime Minister will also flag two new trains. The Amrit Bharat Express running between Gaya and Delhi will give passengers experience of modern and safe travel, while the Buddhist circuit train running between Vaishali and Koderma will connect the major Buddhist sites of the area, which will promote tourism.
Extension of metro and road connectivity in West Bengal
The Prime Minister’s visit to West Bengal will bring a new dawn for Kolkata and its surrounding areas. He will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of several development projects worth more than Rs 5,200 crore in Kolkata. The most important of this is the inauguration of three new sections of Kolkata Metro. Metro services from Jesor Road to Jai Hind Biman Bandar, Sealdah to Esplaynade, and Belleghata to Hemant Mukhopadhyay will start.
These new metro roots will add the busiest areas of Kolkata, which will reduce the travel time of millions of passengers. For example, the 40 -minute journey between Sealdah and Espless will now be completed in just 11 minutes. This will also strengthen multimodal connectivity, making it easier for people to reach the airport and IT hub.
Road infrastructure rejuvenation
To promote road infrastructure, the foundation stone of a six-lane corner expressway costing more than Rs 1,200 crore will be laid. This expressway will increase the connectivity between Howrah, rural areas and Kolkata, which will save in travel time and boost trade and tourism.
Overall, this visit of the Prime Minister will write a new saga of development and prosperity for Bihar and West Bengal. These projects will not only strengthen the infrastructure, but will also bring positive changes in people’s lives and will contribute significantly to the overall development of the country.
