Government focusing on speedy and timely completion of infra projects: PM Modi .

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently said that the government of India is putting efforts to ensure timely completion of infrastructure projects, and overcome the lethargic legacy of earlier governments where projects were delayed for years and were completed when they were outdated and irrelevant. 

“ I am fortunate that you invited me to lay the foundation stone of Pune metro and now you have given me an opportunity to dedicate the service to the people. Earlier there was foundation stone ( programs) but there was uncertainty about the inauguration” said Modi addressing the public meeting after indurating two lines of Pune Metro.  

For the development of modern infrastructure in any country the most important thing is speed and scale, said PM Modi. 

“ For decades we had a system where there were huge delays in completion of important projects. This sluggish approach affected the country’s development. In today’s rapidly growing India, we have to focus on speed and scale as well. To achieve this our government has prepared PM Gati Shkati Master Plan” said PM Modi. 

He added, “ We have seen that the projects are delayed because of lack of coordination between different departments and ministries. The result is that when the project is completed after years, it is outdated. The project losses its relevance. PM Gati Shakti Master Plan will address these issues”. 

“The work on projects will be carried out with speed and integrity. Every stakeholder will have all the relevant information, which will help to speed up the work on projects, said PM. “ This will help to reduce the problems people face and also the country’s money could be saved and people will get more services,” PM Modi said.   

Modi said that in 2014, only Delhi NCR and some other cities had few metro lines, but today more than two dozen cities in India have metros. He appealed to elite class people to use metro services.
