Friends, while on one hand the Chief Minister of Bihar resigned from his post, on the other hand Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the much awaited Delhi-Dehradun Expressway. This is an important step towards promoting connectivity and regional development. Built at an estimated cost of around ₹12,000 crore, this six-lane, 213 km long expressway will significantly reduce the travel time between Delhi and Dehradun to just two and a half hours.

During his address, PM Modi apologized sincerely for arriving late to the event. He expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to the people of Uttar Pradesh and Delhi as well as those present at the venue.

He emphasized that the state has now entered a new phase of development.

Recalling his earlier view after the Kedarnath Yatra, he reiterated that the third decade of this century will belong to Uttarakhand.

This project reflects the combined efforts of government initiatives and dedication of the people.
