Viramgam, Jan 1 || Marking a development-driven start to the New Year, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on January 1 laid the foundation stones for Rs 497 crore worth of infrastructure projects across the Viramgam Assembly constituency, covering Viramgam, Mandal and Detroj talukas.
The projects span road infrastructure, railway connectivity and overbridges, aimed at accelerating growth and improving regional connectivity.
Addressing a large public gathering, the Chief Minister said the Mandal-Becharaji-Viramgam belt, once characterised by limited resources, rain-dependent agriculture and migration of youth in search of employment, has today transformed into a Special Investment Region (SIR) and an emerging auto hub under the development vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“The Prime Minister’s commitment to the welfare of the last person and the mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas has set new benchmarks of development across the country,” Patel said.
He added that enhanced road infrastructure and improved connectivity would give fresh direction and greater momentum to regional development.
