India Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Mohanpura irrigation project in Rajgadh district in Madhya Pradesh yesterday where CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Governor Anandiben Patel marked their esteemed presence.

“Several nations helped us in the making of the Delhi Metro and other Metros, and now, we are helping other nations by designing coaches for their Metro systems,” Modi tweeted.
“New India requires new and smart infrastructure. We have worked on roads, railways, highways, airways, waterways, and i-ways. There is unparalleled focus on connectivity and ensuring development projects are completed on time,” the PM tweeted.
