Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Mandi, also known as ‘Chhoti Kashi,’ on Monday, where he inaugurated and lay the foundation stone for hydropower projects worth Rs 11,000 crore, which will support the state’s economy and supply additional power to the states.
One project that has been in the works for nearly three decades will benefit Delhi, which will be able to receive approximately 500 million cubic metres of water each year.
In a long woolen coat and hand gloves, Modi presided over the second groundbreaking ceremony of the Himachal Pradesh Global Investors’ Meet, which is intended to stimulate investment in the region by launching projects worth approximately Rs 28,000 crore.
