New Delhi, Mar 13 (UNI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday virtually inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for several infrastructure projects worth Rs 146 crore in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.



In his address, Shah said that these infrastructure projects will enhance the convenience of local residents, improve connectivity, and provide a fresh boost to employment, industry, and business, a Home Ministry statement said here.



The projects include construction of a railway overbridge, approximately 1 km long, on the Ahmedabad-Viramgam railway track at Sanand-Chekhla-Kadi Road, with an investment of Rs 60 crore. Moreover, foundation stone has been laid for the construction of a 4-lane bridge over the Narmada Canal on National Highway No 147 at a cost of Rs 36.30 crore, and a flyover bridge on Sarkhej-Gandhinagar (SG) Highway at Chharodi at a cost of Rs 45 crore.



The Minister stated that all these development works will set new milestones of development in the four assembly constituencies of the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency.



Shah said that the Gujarat government has completed several development projects worth thousands of crores in the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency. In terms of infrastructure, Gujarat is currently in the first position across India.



The Home Minister informed that the centre is going to build a state-of-the-art 500-bed hospital in Sanand. He mentioned that the centre has decided that this hospital will remain open 24 hours a day for all the people of Sanand and Bavla talukas.



He also said that several trust-run hospitals are being built in this area. Additionally, the centre is constructing a 300-bed government hospital in Kalol Taluka. Shah said that once all these hospitals are completed, every person will be able to access state-of-the-art healthcare facilities near their home.



The Home Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gujarat, along with the entire country, is making a significant progress and mentioned that the state is home to the world’s largest green energy park planned in Kutch, Asia's largest green city, Dholera, and India’s second-longest highway, the Surat-Chennai Expressway.



Shah further said that to create an international financial hub, GIFT City has been established in Ahmedabad, the Ahmedabad-Mumbai Bullet Train has been launched, and a Rapid Rail service has been started between Bhuj and Ahmedabad.
