Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for various development projects in the education, railway, aviation, and road sectors, amounting to over Rs 320 billion in Jammu.
The first electric train in the valley and the train service between Sangaldan station and Baramulla station were also flagged off by PM Modi.
In the course of the program, the PM distributed appointment orders to approximately 1500 new government recruits of Jammu and Kashmir. Additionally, as part of the 'Viksit Bharat Viksit Jammu' program, he interacted with beneficiaries of various government schemes.
The Prime Minister, who had arrived in the winter capital Jammu to launch these multiple development projects, was received at the Jammu technical airport by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Union minister Jitendra Singh, along with prominent BJP leaders, including J-K unit president Ravinder Raina. The Maulana Azad Stadium witnessed a large turnout of people from across Jammu and Kashmir for the event.
This marks the second visit of PM Modi to Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 and is significant in the lead-up to the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
