Soon a multimedia show of international standards will start at Futala lake. Central government is expected to clear the Broad Gauge Metro soon, which will provide fast connectivity to towns near Nagpur.

The 1,300 kilometre long green expressway linking Delhi with Mumbai will be completed within a year. I started rejuvenation of Ganga and restarted water transport in the country. During the corona lockdown period I held 280 video conferences and connected with 80 crore people.”
