In PM's Absence, Guv Launches NH Projects Worth Rs 3,200 Cr

PTI, KOLKATA, DEC 20, 2025: Governor CV Ananda Bose on Saturday unveiled national highway projects worth Rs 3,200 crore in West Bengal with an aim to boost economic activities and tourism in the state.

Bose officially launched the projects from Netaji Park in Taherpur area of Nadia district instead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was initially supposed to unveil the development projects from the ground, but whose helicopter failed to land in the area due to insufficient visibility from dense fog over the region.

Bose inaugurated the 66.7 km-long four-laning of the Barajaguli-Krishnanagar section of NH-34 in Nadia district, while he laid the foundation stone for the four-laning of the Barasat-Barajaguli stretch of the highway in the adjacent district of North 24 Parganas.

"It has remained our constant endeavour to ensure modern connectivity to those far-flung areas of Bengal which have suffered on account of backwardness," the Prime Minister said while addressing the crowd. Modi tendered his apology for his inability to remain on the dais in person due to inclement weather.

The projects will serve as a vital connecting link between Kolkata and Siliguri and help reduce travel time by approximately 2 hours, ensuring faster and smoother movement of vehicles. They will also improve connectivity between the state’s capital and other districts of West Bengal as well as with neighbouring countries, Modi said
