GANDHINAGAR:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually dedicate farmers welfare, tourism and heath sector projects on October 24 before visiting the state on October 31.
Nitin Patel, deputy chief minister and government spokesperson said, “PM Narendra Modi will dedicate three key projects to the people of Gujarat on October 24 using virtual platform from New Delhi. The PM will dedicate the new premises of the 850-bed U N Mehta heart hospital built at the cost of Rs 470 crore.
This will include special facility for children.”
He added, “The PM will also dedicate the country’s largest ropeway project at Girnar. Lakhs of devotees have to climb around 10,000 steps to reach Dattatreya temple on Girnar mountain. It will now become easier for anyone to go on top of the mountain,” Patel added.
The deputy CM also said that the PM will also launch the first phase of Kishan Suryodaya Yojana under which farmers of 3,000 villages will get daytime power for irrigation. “It will be a big relief for the farmers,” he said.
PM Modi is likely to visit Gujarat on October 31. He will dedicate the seaplane tourism project between Ahmedabad and the Statue of Unity (SOU) and also dedicate a series of tourism projects at SOU in Kevadiya. The PM will take part in the National Unity Day celebration as well and will virtually address civil service probationary officers.
Tje PM will be visiting Gujarat for the first time after the lockdown. He last visited Gujarat when US president, Donald Trump, had arrived in the city. The state unit of the BJP is excited about the PM’s visit, which will take place just days before the November 3 assembly byelections.
