While travelling from Delhi to Meerut by road today, I experienced first-hand how a vision can truly be turned into reality. A journey that once took over 3 hours can now be covered effortlessly in just 45 minutes.
The Delhi-Meerut Expressway has become an integral part of the everyday lives of lakhs of commuters. Built under the Bharatmala Pariyojana, it contains Indiaโs first 14-lane expressway section and stands as a powerful testament to the scale, speed and ambition of New India.
Having served as the RCD Minister of Bihar, I have seen closely how a good road does more than connect two points on a map. It connects a farmer to a market, a student to a school and a patient to a hospital in time.
As we mark 25 years of dedicated public service by Honโble Prime Minister Shri
@narendramodi Ji, transformations like these show the kind of India taking shape before us. An India where long-held dreams of world-class connectivity are becoming real, and where modern infrastructure is driving us firmly on the fast lane to a Viksit Bharat.
