New Delhi, Mar 10 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday hailed the Union Cabinet’s decisions on boosting rail and road connectivity, saying the move will improve logistics while supporting economic growth particularly in tribal regions.
Modi also complimented the cabinet’s approval of the extension of Jal Jeevan Mission up to December 2028 with an enhanced outlay of Rs 8.7 lakh crore for the rural drinking water supply project.
“Boosting rail connectivity and capacity in eastern India! Cabinet has approved multitracking projects covering 5 districts of West Bengal and Jharkhand. These projects will enhance efficiency, reduce congestion and strengthen connectivity across these states. They will also improve freight movement, support economic activity and advance sustainable, low-carbon transport,” he said in a post on ‘X’.
The prime minister said the government is going to boost connectivity and development through next-generation infrastructure.
“Cabinet has approved the development of a 4-lane corridor on the Badnawar-Petlawad-Thandla-Timarwani section of NH-752D. This project will reduce travel time and improve logistics while supporting economic growth particularly in tribal regions,” he said.
Modi said the cabinet decision on Jal Jeevan Mission marks a major step towards ensuring sustainable and reliable tap water supply for rural households across India.
“It shifts the focus from only infrastructure creation to citizen-centric service delivery supported by strong local governance and digital monitoring. The move will strengthen water security, improve health outcomes and empower rural communities, especially our Nari Shakti,” he said.
The prime minister said a significant step has been taken for Tamil Nadu’s growth and connectivity with the approval of the Union Cabinet to declare Madurai Airport as an international airport.
“This will boost tourism, trade and economic opportunities across Southern Tamil Nadu in particular. Madurai, a city celebrated for its timeless culture and spiritual heritage, is set to strengthen its global connect,” he said. PTI ACB ACB KVK KVK
