Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually unveiled projects worth over ₹4,570 crore in Assam's Kokrajhar district on Friday, ahead of the assembly elections.
He unveiled the projects through video conference from Guwahati after his Kokrajhar visit was cancelled due to heavy rain.
The PM flagged off three new trains, the Kamakhya-Charlapalli Amrit Bharat Express, the Guwahati-New Jalpaiguri Express, and the Narangi-Agartala Express.
He also laid the foundation stone of a Periodic Overhauling (POH) Workshop at Bashbari in the district to strengthen railway maintenance and enhance operational efficiency.
Mr. Modi virtually took part in the 'Bhoomi Poojan' for Assam Mala 3.0, a major road infrastructure initiative. More than 900 km of roads will be constructed under the scheme to improve inter-state connectivity and strengthen links between national highways and rural roads.
