The PM will dedicate to the nation and lay the foundation stone for
various development projects worth about Rs 7,000 crore in Chittorgarh,
Rajasthan.
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, to promote a gas-based
economy, the Mehsana-Bhatinda-Gurdaspur Gas Pipeline will be dedicated by the PM.
“The pipeline has been built at a cost of about Rs 4,500 crores. The
PM will dedicate the LPG Plant of HPCL at Abu Road. This plant will bottle and
distribute 86 lakh cylinders per annum and will result in a net reduction in
the running of trucks carrying cylinders per annum by around 0.75 million km, which
will help reduce about 0.5 million tons of CO2 emission per annum. He will dedicate
additional storage at Ajmer Bottling Plant, IOCL,” added the release.
The PM will dedicate a 4-lane road on NH-12 (New NH-52) on the
Darah-Jhalawar-Teendhar section, which has been constructed at a cost of more
than Rs 1,480 crores.
This project will help ease the transportation of the produce of
mines from Kota and Jhalawar districts.
Further, the foundation stone for constructing and widening the
Railway Over Bridge (ROB) from two lanes to four lanes in Sawai Madhopur will be
laid. This project will help provide relief from the problem of traffic jams.
The railway projects being dedicated to the nation by the PM include
the projects involving the doubling of the Chittorgarh-Neemuch Railway line and
the Kota-Chittorgarh Electrified Railway line.
These projects have been completed at a cost of more than Rs 650
crores and will strengthen rail infrastructure in the region. They will boost
tourism to historic sites in Rajasthan.
The PM will dedicate tourism facilities developed at Nathdwara
under the Swadesh Darshan Scheme. Nathdwara is the major centre of faith for
millions of followers of the Pushtimarg propagated by Saint Vallabhacharya.
A modern ‘tourist interpretation and cultural centre’ has been
developed at Nathdwara, where tourists can experience various facets of the
life of Shrinathji.
Further, the PM will dedicate the permanent campus of the Indian
Institute of Information Technology, Kota to the nation.
After visiting Rajasthan, PM Modi in the afternoon will go to
Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior where he will also inaugurate and lay the foundation
stone of many projects of public interest.
