Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Jai Maa Daat Kali Temple in Dehradun before inaugurating the Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor in Uttarakhand. Children in traditional attire welcomed him with the Durga Devi Stotram. He also engaged with other devotees at the temple.
During his visit, PM Modi inspected the Wildlife corridor on the elevated section of the Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Union Highways and Transportation Minister Nitin Gadkari, UP Governor Anandiben Patel, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and Deputy CMs Keshav Pradad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak were present. An exhibition showcasing the wildlife corridor’s construction process was displayed, and officials briefed the Prime Minister on the project.
PM Modi conducted a roadshow along the Wildlife Corridor, attracting a large crowd who cheered and showered him with flowers. Attendees, holding the Tricolour, chanted slogans like “Modi, Modi,” “Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” and “Jai Shri Ram.” Many also wore costumes and performed traditional dances to welcome him.
Later, PM Modi will officially open the Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor at a public event in Dehradun and address the audience. The corridor, spanning 213 km with six lanes, has been constructed at a cost exceeding Rs 12,000 crore. It connects Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, significantly reducing travel time between Delhi and Dehradun to around two and a half hours.
