Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched development projects worth more than Rs 19,100 crore in Bulandshahr district in western Uttar Pradesh.

Modi inaugurated a 173-km-long double-line electrified section between New Khurja and New Rewari on the dedicated freight corridor (DFC) by flagging off goods trains from the two stations through video conference.

The prime minister also inaugurated a rail line connecting the Mathura-Palwal section and the Chipiyana Buzurg-Dadri section.

These new lines will improve rail connectivity of the national capital to southern-western and eastern India.

Modi unveiled multiple road development projects. He also inaugurated Indian Oil’s Tundla-Gawaria pipeline.

Built at a cost of about Rs 700 crore, this 255-km-long pipeline project has been completed well ahead of its scheduled time.
