Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday laid the foundation stone for the City Gas distribution (CGD) project for Alipurduar and Cooch Behar districts, marking a significant step towards clean energy access in North Bengal.

Speaking at the ceremony, PM Modi underscored the transformative impact of the project, which involves an investment of over Rs 1,000 crore. Once operational, it is expected to provide energy access to more than 42 lakh people in the region. The Prime Minister said the initiative would not only ensure affordable and uninterrupted gas supply but also significantly enhance the quality of life for local residents.

According to officials, the CGD network will deliver 24x7 Piped Natural Gas (PNG) connections to over 2.5 lakh homes, businesses, and industries. In addition, the establishment of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations will help curb vehicular pollution, laying the foundation for a cleaner and healthier future.
