PM Modi in his Independence Day speech made several significant announcements, including the development of a slew of railway projects in north-eastern states.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assertion on Tuesday from the ramparts of Delhi’s Red Fort that a new history of connectivity is being written in India’s northeast, is being borne out to a large extent by a slew of railway projects which are being undertaken in the region.
Development of rail infrastructure in the eight states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, and Sikkim has been given priority, a spokesperson of the Northeastern Frontier Railway (NF Railway) said.
