During his visit to Bharuch, Gujarat, on March 7, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated multiple development projects to the nation, including, a four-Lane Extradosed Bridge over river Narmada at Bharuch on NH-8 and Petrochemicals Complex of OPAL at Dahej. "The world will not understand what it means to build a bridge at Bharuch. The people of Bharuch, who have undergone so much pain, only they will understand its importance," he said at the foundation ceremony.
He said the Indian economy is getting new power on the soil of Bharuch. "If the vision is clear, intentions right and ideas perfect, then nothing can hinder success." He also laid the foundation stone of Bharuch Bus Port. Modi stated that the bus port would benefit the poorest of the poor. "The Bharatmala and Sagarmala projects will give a strong boost to port-led development."
