PM Modi is set to launch and lay the foundation stones for several development projects in Mumbai

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Mumbai, Maharashtra today to launch, dedicate to the nation, and lay the foundation stone for multiple projects in the road, railways, and ports sectors, totaling over ₹29,400 crore, at the NESCO Exhibition Centre, Goregaon. In the evening, he will visit the Indian News Service Secretariat to inaugurate the INS Towers.

Among the key projects, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for the Thane Borivali Tunnel Project, valued at ₹16,600 crore. This twin tube tunnel will pass below the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, creating a direct connection between the Western Express Highway at Borivali and Thane Ghodbander Road. The 11.8 km tunnel is expected to reduce the journey between Thane and Borivali by 12 km, saving about an hour of travel time.

Additionally, he will lay the foundation stone for the tunnel work at the Goregaon Mulund Link Road Project, worth over ₹6,300 crore. The Prime Minister will also initiate the Kalyan Yard Remodelling and the Gati Shakti Multi Modal Cargo Terminal at Turbhe in Navi Mumbai. The Kalyan Yard project will aid in the segregation of long-distance and suburban traffic.

Mr. Modi will dedicate to the nation new platforms at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and the extension of platforms 10 and 11 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Station. The new, longer platforms at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus will accommodate longer trains, allowing for more passengers per train and improving the station’s capacity to handle increased traffic.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister will launch the Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana, with an outlay of around ₹5,600 crore. This transformative internship program aims to address youth unemployment by providing opportunities for skill enhancement and industry exposure for youth aged 18 to 30 years.

According to an Akashvani correspondent, around 5:30 in the evening, the Prime Minister will reach the NESCO Exhibition Centre in Goregaon, where he will lay the foundation stones for multiple projects including the Thane Borivali Tunnel Project, the Goregaon Mulund Link Road tunnel work, and the Kalyan Yard Remodelling and Gati Shakti Multi Modal Cargo Terminal at Turbhe in Navi Mumbai. Later, he will visit the Indian Newspaper Society (INS) Secretariat at Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai to inaugurate the INS Towers.
