PM Modi Inaugurates Key Sections of India's Dedicated Freight Corridor, Highlights Progress
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated key sections of India's 2,800-km Dedicated Freight Corridor, completing the Western corridor and linking major industrial hubs and ports. He highlighted the project's role in reducing freight times, lowering logistics costs, and boosting economic growth. Modi criticized previous governments, particularly the UPA, for delays and bureaucratic inertia, contrasting it with his administration's accelerated progress since 2014. The Prime Minister also addressed critics, using the term "naraz fufa" to dismiss opposition concerns about truck drivers. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw emphasized ongoing railway modernization efforts alongside the corridor's completion.
