Good news for north-east people that Modi announced huge amount for them.
For Indian north-east people it's good news. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday announced that Rs 90,000 crore
will be earmarked for improving roads and national highways in the Northeast in the next two to three years to facilitate
better connectivity. He also inaugurated the Tuirial hydroelectric project at Aizawl and dedicated to the nation a two-lane
national highway connecting Tura in western Meghalaya and Shillong. Ahead of the Mizoram and Meghalaya Assembly
elections in 2018, PM Modi inaugurated a slew of development projects in the two northeastern states and also
addressed public rallies.
The prime minister said, “It will boost economic activity and establish a direct link between the important towns of the
state- Shillong and Tura. Travel time will be significantly reduced. Across the North East the Union Government has
sanctioned around four thousand km of National Highways, for an amount of over Rs 32,000 crore.”
It's really a good news for the people.
Thank you.
