Modi inaugurates mega infra projects in Gujarat

The prime minister inaugurated the Sudarshan Setu, connecting the Okha mainland and the Beyt Dwarka island, built at a cost of around 980 crore. The 2.32km cable-stayed bridge is the longest of its kind in the country, the PMO said in a statement.

Sudarshan Setu boasts a unique design, featuring a footpath adorned with verses from the Bhagavad Gita and images of Lord Krishna on both sides, it said. It has solar panels installed on the upper portions of the footpath, the statement said. Before the construction of the bridge, pilgrims had to rely on boat transport to reach Beyt Dwarka.

"There was a time when all the major programmes of the country used to take place in Delhi only. I took the government of India out from Delhi to every corner of the country," the Prime Minister said.

The projects Modi inaugurated include a pipeline project in Vadinar involving the replacement of existing offshore lines, abandoning the existing pipeline and relocating the entire system to a nearby location.

Modi inaugurated and laid foundation stones for 200 health infrastructure projects worth over ₹11,500 crore across the country.

He virtually dedicated five All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Rajkot (Gujarat), Bathinda (Punjab), Raebareli (Uttar Pradesh), Kalyani (West Bengal), and Mangalagiri (Andhra Pradesh), besides a medical college of JIPMER at Karaikal, Puducherry, and a 300-bed satellite centre of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical and Educational Research (PGIMER) in Sangrur, Punjab, among others, the PMO statement said.
