Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah took charge in virtually inaugurating several significant development projects across the nation. Among the initiatives unveiled were the groundbreaking Digital Criminal Case Management System (CCMS) Platform of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the launch of 'Sankalan,' a mobile app compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) to navigate new criminal laws.

In a virtual ceremony, Amit Shah inaugurated office premises and laid the foundation for a residential complex for NIA branches in Jammu, Kochi, and Raipur. These initiatives mark a significant stride towards modernizing the investigative infrastructure of the country's premier investigation agency.

Additionally, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel played a crucial role in spearheading development efforts in Ahmedabad, where projects worth Rs 3012 crores were unveiled earlier today. During the event, which Amit Shah participated in via video conferencing, CM Bhupendra Patel underscored the transformative impact of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development initiatives.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a development gift of Rs 1.15 lakh crore in the last 1 week. Works worth Rs 3012 crore are being handed over by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) today. Many cities of Gujarat and the country have developed under the Modi government. 100 cities of Gujarat are moving towards becoming smart cities, stated CM Bhupendra Patel.

He emphasized the direct benefits accruing to the public through various schemes, attributing this progress to the synergy between the central and state governments, commonly referred to as the double-engine government.

The combined efforts of leaders like Amit Shah and Bhupendra Patel underscore the commitment towards fostering development and progress across the nation, as they leverage technology and strategic partnerships to propel India into a brighter future.
