By LokMarg

Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday said the changing picture of Madhya Pradesh will fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of a self-reliant India.

He said the people were experiencing all-around development under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Gadkari was speaking at a programme at Barsaita in Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa district on Saturday. The Union minister inaugurated and laid foundation stones for seven road projects, to be laid over 204.81 km at a combined cost of Rs 2443.89 crore.

The Union minister also inaugurated the four-lane Churhat bypass, a six-lane tunnel, a four-lane road from Satna to Bela (with paved shoulder), a concrete-cement road in Rewa city under CRIF, a two-lane road to Gajan, Magarwar, Itour, Khamhariya Goraiya and Sajjanpur.

He also inaugurated the two-lane road on the Chhibora-Gajan section and laid the foundation stone for the construction of the New Sapta Marg connecting Beohari to Adarsh Village and Devtalab-Naigarhi road under CRIF.

Gadkari also visited the Rewa-Sidhi six-lane tunnel and appreciated the work done on the project. He said, “The Rewa-Sidhi Tunnel is India’s first ‘Aqua Duct’. The Bansagar canal and road have been built over it. This will go down as an important tunnel in the country and will give a new dimension to the development of the region. This tunnel connects the second tunnel after 300 metres, has 46 exhaust fans, an optical fibre lane, as well as an LXBC and fire fighting systems.”

Gadkari thanked and congratulated the engineers concerned for the work, adding that five greenfield expressways/highways of high quality are also being constructed in Madhya Pradesh.

The Union minister said, “A logistics park and an industrial area should be developed near these highways. A 245 km portion of the Mumbai-Delhi Expressway will be built in Madhya Pradesh. Atal Progress-Way, Indore-Hyderabad 6-lane, Ujjain-Garoth 4-lane and Agra-Gwalior Green Field Highway are also under construction.”

He also announced the completion of all missing links of the Narmada Parikrama Path at the request of CM Chouhan, saying that all road transport-related proposals of the state would be cleared without delay.

“Madhya Pradesh has all that it takes for setting up industries. There are ready water supply sources, energy, transport and communication. The state’s agricultural production has increased due to improved irrigation facilities. Today, Madhya Pradesh is leading the country in agriculture. CM Chouhan deserves congratulations for this,” Gadkar added.

The CM said, “PM Modi and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari are developing the country at a fast pace. Today is a historic day for the land of Vindhya. A wonderful tunnel has been made in the area. Gadkari-ji has laid a network of roads across the entire state. There has been no shortage of funds in this development pursuit. The roads of Madhya Pradesh have become so good that today our minister Gopal Bhargava reached Rewa from Sagar in three-and-a-half hours.” (ANI)

8,820 Fruit-Laden Trucks Allowed Passage On Srinagar-Jammu Highway

By LokMarg

Over 10,000 heavy motor vehicles including 8820 fruit-laden trucks have been released through Navyug and Jawahar Tunnels during the past 24 hours.

“Over 10000 HMVs including 8820 fruit-laden trucks released through Navyug and Jawahar Tunnels during the past 24 hours. Chief Secretary compliments all functionaries and asks them to keep up the momentum”, Jammu and Kashmir Information Department said in a tweet.
For the first time after three decades, a Union Minister went to Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir to hold a rally.

On October 5, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a rally in Baramulla. Sources said Shah’s rally got a phenomenal response from the people of the district.

As per the sources present in the rally, the highest cheering was witnessed when the Home Minister spoke about the availability of free gas cylinders for women. It is also reported that in the hilly areas of the Union Territory, women registered to get the Ujjwala scheme benefit and got two cylinders instead of one.

“The development of Jammu and Kashmir is the prime agenda of the PM Modi government at the Centre. BJP does not wish to ally with any of the regional players in J-K,” a top BJP source told ANI.

Another source told ANI that, “the briefing given to the security agencies in the region is to ensure complete wipe out of terrorism and its supporters.”

The changing face of Jammu and Kashmir was evident because crowds turned up in huge numbers and it was a responsive gathering.

The Home Minister launched and laid the foundation stones of projects worth Rs 2000 crore in Kashmir and Rs 1900 crore in the Jammu region.

Shah sent a clear message that J-K is a priority for the Centre and leaders of three political parties, who ruled J-K for 70 years, can no longer dictate terms to New Delhi, nor can they hoodwink the gullible people of J-K as the times have changed.

He termed the turning of Kashmir from a “terrorist spot” into a “tourist spot” as one of the major achievements of the PM Modi-led regime and assured the people that J&K will keep on flourishing under PM Modi’s leadership.

The Union Home Minister had come to Jammu and Kashmir to tell the people that the government is aware of their needs and stands by them in all their endeavors.

His assertion that laptops have replaced stones and strike culture has ended in Kashmir was a snub to all such leaders, who used to claim that Kashmir would burn once Article 370–a temporary provision in the Constitution–is scrapped.

Shah reaching out to all the communities was an indication that the Government of India believes in equality for all and that no one will be left out. (ANI)
