Amit Shah to inaugurate Ahmedabad development projects worth ₹1,024 crore
The Union Minister will open a new flyover and conduct a housing scheme draw for more than 9,000 families.
Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate and lay foundation stones for 30 development projects worth ₹1,024 crore in his Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency on Monday, according to Bhaskar English.
The Minister is scheduled to inaugurate a 4.03-km-long elevated corridor from Iskcon to Sanand Chokdi on the S.G. Highway at 10:30 a.m. The corridor features an 'inverted T' design built on single pillars to keep the road below open.
The new flyover is expected to provide relief to 1.5 lakh to 2 lakh motorists daily by removing the need to wait at the YMCA, Prahladnagar, and Karnavati Club junctions.
Mr Shah will also inaugurate the 'Knowledge Hub' in Jodhpur and an Urban Health Centre in Gota. The Knowledge Hub is intended to provide library facilities and coaching for students preparing for competitive examinations like the GPSC and UPSC.
The Minister will conduct a draw for more than 9,000 homes, including 1,400 at Ramapir no Tekro and 7,825 homes built by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation at 11 locations under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. These homes have a carpet area of 28 square metres.
Housing Improvement and EWS Housing Scheme Committee Chairman Darshan Shah said the scheme aims to provide permanent houses to slum residents and enhance the city's beauty. Currently, 18,470 houses are under construction.
