In Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a number of construction initiatives worth more than 7,000 crores of rupees on Monday. The Mehsana-Bhatinda-Gurdaspur Gas Pipeline was dedicated by the prime minister to support a gas-based economy.
“The pipeline has been built at a cost of about Rs 4500 crores. Prime Minister will also dedicate the LPG Plant of HPCL at Abu Road. This plant will bottle and distribute 86 lakh cylinders per annum and will also result in a net reduction in the running of trucks carrying cylinders per annum by around 0.75 million Km, which will help reduce about 0.5 million tons of CO2 emission per annum. He will also dedicate additional storage at Ajmer Bottling Plant, IOCL,” added the release.
A 4-lane, more than Rs 1480 crores-expensive road on NH-12 (New NH-52) on the Darah-Jhalawar-Teendhar section was dedicated by the prime minister. The transportation of mined goods from the districts of Kota and Jhalawar will be made easier thanks to this project. In addition, a foundation stone will be laid for the expansion of Sawai Madhopur’s Railway Over Bridge (ROB) from two to four lanes. The issue of traffic congestion will be helped by this project.
The Chittorgarh-Neemuch Railway line and the Kota-Chittorgarh Electrified Railway line are two of the railway projects that the prime minister is dedicating to the nation. These initiatives, which cost more than Rs 650 crores to complete, will improve the region’s rail infrastructure. Additionally, they will increase visitors to Rajasthan’s historic sites.
