Amit Shah to inaugurate development projects worth Rs 1,024 crore in Gujarat
The Union Home Minister will launch several infrastructure projects and conduct a housing allotment draw in his Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate and lay foundation stones for development projects worth Rs 1,024 crore in his Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency on Monday, according to reports by Bhaskar English and The Economic Times.
The scheduled programmes include the opening of a 4.03-km-long elevated corridor from Iskcon to Sanand Chokdi on the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar (SG) Highway. The flyover features an 'inverted T' design with single pillars to keep the road below open. Mayor Hitesh Barot stated that the corridor is intended to ease congestion for the 1.5 lakh to 2 lakh motorists who use the stretch daily.
Other projects being unveiled include the 'Knowledge Hub' in Jodhpur, an Urban Health Centre in Gota, and various urban amenity works. The Knowledge Hub is intended to provide library facilities and coaching for students preparing for competitive exams like the UPSC and GPSC.
Shah will also oversee a housing allotment process for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) beneficiaries. A computerised lottery draw will be held for 7,825 homes built by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation at 11 locations, for which 97,066 applications were received.
The programme will also involve handing over completed housing units in the Ramapir na Tekra area of Wadaj. The event is expected to take place at 12 pm on a ground near the Ranip state transport bus station in the presence of Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
