    Modi flags off Assam’s first Vande Bharat Express, targets previous governments for ignoring Northeast

    New Delhi (IANS) | Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday flagged off Assam’s first Vande Bharat Express through video conferencing, which will connect Guwahati to New Jalpaiguri. He took the occasion to take a jibe at the previous governments for indulging in corruption and neglecting the connectivity and development of the North Eastern states. Along with the semi-high speed train, Modi also dedicated to the nation the New Bongaigaon-Dudhnoi-Mendipather and Guwahati-Chaparmukh electrified rail sections. He also inaugurated the new DEMU/MEMU (workshop for trains) shed at Lumding.

    Addressing the event virtually, Modi said it is a big day for rail connectivity in the Northeast including Assam.

    He said, three projects related to Northeast connectivity are going on simultaneously. In a first, Northeast got its first Made-in-India Vande Bharat today. Second, about 425 km of railway tracks between Assam and Meghalaya have been electrified and thirdly, the DEMU/MEMU (workshop for trains) shed has come up at Lumding.

    He also accused the previous governments of indulging in corruption and neglecting the development and connectivity of the northeastern states.

    He said, before the decade of 2014, there were records of scams in various sectors. The worst hit by these scams were the poor and the less developed regions. Our government gave priority to the welfare of the poor.

    To hide their past failures, some people say that a lot of work was done in the Northeast earlier also, he said. These people made the people of the Northeast wait for decades even for basic amenities. The North East has suffered the brunt of this unforgivable crime.

    Modi also said that infrastructure is for all, equally, without any discrimination. Therefore, this structural construction is in a way true social justice as well as true secularism.

    He also said that today the whole world is talking about the infrastructure work being done in India because this infrastructure makes life easier. The Prime Minister said, this infrastructure creates employment opportunities. This infrastructure is the basis of rapid development. This infrastructure empowers the poor, dalits, backward, tribals, every such deprived.

    Modi said, the last nine years have been of unprecedented achievements for India to build a New India. Only yesterday the country got the grand and divine modern Parliament of independent India. This is the Parliament connecting thousands of years old democratic history of the country with our prosperous democratic future.

    He further said that after coming to power, his government gave top priority to the welfare of the poor. From home to toilet for women, from water pipeline to electricity connection, from gas pipeline to AIIMS Medical College, road, rail, waterways, port, airport, mobile connectivity – we have made full strength in every area, he said. Has worked since.

    Modi said that in the last nine years, the budget for the Railways has been increased manifold as compared to the pre-2014 phase. He said, the average rail budget for Northeast was around Rs 2,500 crore whereas this time the rail budget for Northeast is around Rs 10,000 crore.

    He said, along with speed, today Indian Railways is also becoming a medium to connect hearts, connect society and connect people with opportunities.

    It is also the first Vande Bharat service in the Northeast.

    The travel time of this train is expected to be saved by about one hour as compared to the existing fastest train connecting the two places as it will cover the distance of 410 km in five and a half hours.

    This is the 18th Vande Bharat Express service, which became operational from Monday.

    It will run six days a week and stop at six stations – New Alipurduar, Kokrajhar, New Bongaigaon and Kamakhya including New Jalpaiguri and Guwahati Junction.

    The train will leave New Jalpaiguri at 6.10 am and reach Guwahati in the afternoon. Vande Bharat Express will leave from Guwahati at 4.30 pm. And will return to New Jalpaiguri at around 10:20.

  • PM Modi made the impossible possible in Kashmir

    PM Modi made the impossible possible in Kashmir

    Srinagar (IANS) | Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s nine-year tenure has transformed Jammu and Kashmir from a land of blood-soaked turmoil to a land of hope and expectations.

    Jammu and Kashmir has gone from one level of violence to another since 1990. During this hundreds of people were killed and thousands became orphans. While an entire minority Kashmiri Pandit community was greatly oppressed and thrown out of their homes.

    Before Modi assumed the reins of power in the country, Kashmir looked like a lost land from the perspective of India. Even a remote reference to nationalism meant retaliation from the militants. Anyone who claimed to be an Indian was labeled an ‘Indian agent’.

    The common man was caught in the crossfire between the terrorists and the security forces. Armed separatists enter homes during the night to force residents to provide food and shelter.

    The security forces come during the day to ransack the places where the separatists have taken shelter. Education, business and normal activities of life remained hostage due to the shutdown called by the separatists and the curfew declared by the authorities.

    The state was governed inside government offices while separatists opened fire on the ground. The separatists infiltrated various government services, colleges and universities through intimidation and use of force, while the administration looked helpless.

    Modi seemed determined to change all this. Slowly and steadily, the security forces took control of the ground. Changing the role of security forces from merely responding to terrorist attacks to aggressively pursuing militants on the ground was not an easy task.

    Terror funding had become an industry of sorts in Kashmir. During the last 9 years, almost all sources of terrorist funding have been destroyed by the security forces. Those who staged bandhs and stone pelters were put in jail. During these nine years, the impossible was made possible under the leadership of Narendra Modi.

    The Modi government at the Center abrogated Articles 370 and 35A giving special status to Jammu and Kashmir. What seemed impossible was made possible by abolishing the special status and dividing Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories.

    Administration was made effective. The anti-corruption organization was given more strength and the people at the grassroots level were empowered by making Gram Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies truly public institutions.

    Panchayati Raj was established on the lines of other states of the country and elections were held for these basic democratic institutions. Tourism has suffered the most during three decades of violence. A real change was achieved in this area.

    A record number of 1.75 crore tourists visited Jammu and Kashmir last year and this does not include pilgrims to Mata Vaishno Devi shrine and Amarnath cave shrine. Educational institutions are functioning normally while businesses are back on track.

    Large industrial and foreign direct investment and proposals to invest in Jammu and Kashmir have opened up new opportunities for the local youth. The violence may not have ended completely, but it has definitely gone to the edges. Most importantly, separatism has lost sympathizers in Kashmir during the nine years of Narendra Modi’s rule.

    During his nine years in office, Narendra Modi has been successful in bringing about a change in Jammu and Kashmir by making every citizen a stakeholder in peace and development.
