Rs 25,000 Crore Projects Completed In My Constituency: HM Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said the government had completed development projects worth Rs 25,000 crore in the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency over the past seven years. He outlined plans to build a ‘green and developed Gandhinagar’ through further infrastructure expansion.

Addressing a gathering in Ahmedabad, Shah said the government was inaugurating projects worth around Rs 1,400 crore and laying foundation stones for new works.

These included projects worth approximately Rs 1,100 crore under the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and around Rs 400 crore involving the Roads and Buildings Department and the Union government.

The programme covered 30 projects worth Rs 1,024 crore. Shah also inaugurated the ISKCON-Sanand Elevated Corridor, built at an estimated cost of Rs 464 crore.

The four-kilometre corridor connects ISKCON Junction with Sanand Flyover on the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway. Recalling his earlier motorcycle journeys between Sarkhej and Gandhinagar, Shah said traffic and signals once made the journey take nearly two-and-a-half hours.

He said ongoing road projects would eventually allow commuters to travel between the two locations without stopping at traffic signals. He set a three-year target for achieving this connectivity.

Shah highlighted the housing projects at Ramapir no Tekro, where authorities have inaugurated more than 1,100 houses. He also cited the Jaspur water treatment plant and projects for drainage, sewage treatment and stormwater management.

The development programme includes a 30 MW solar power project, smart schools and urban health centres. Shah said these initiatives would strengthen civic facilities and support the city’s growing population.

He thanked residents and congratulated beneficiaries of the new housing projects.
