Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed recent roadworks in the Delhi NCR as revolutionary as he inaugurated the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), along with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta, and Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini.
Referring to the projects inaugurated on Sunday, Modi said they will increase the convenience of the people of the NCR region, and everyone's time will be saved. “Our government has worked on this at multiple levels. In the past 11 years, travel has become easier in Delhi NCR,” Modi said. In his 20-odd-minute speech, PM Modi spoke about a wide range of issues of a self-reliant and secure India, impending GST reforms and reiterating his “vocal for local”.
