Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that infrastructure projects in the country need to be executed at greater scale and speed. Long delays in implementation used to make projects obsolete and lose relevance, Modi said.
The government had launched PM Gati Shakti national masterplan to have better co-ordination between different departments, ministries and government so that projects were completed on time, Modi said here after inaugurating the Pune Metro’s rail service. The PM bought the first ticket issued by Pune Metro and took a ride on the Metro from the Garware Station to Anand Nagar. The PM had laid the foundation stone for the Pune Metro in December 2016 and he was appreciative that it was operational in 2022 despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic.
