Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the “double-engine” government in Rajasthan is not merely making announcements but ensuring their time-bound implementation on the ground.
In this direction, 65 major development works worth around Rs 453 crore have been inaugurated, while foundation stones have been laid for 184 new development works worth Rs 540 crore in Bharatpur Division. These projects are expected to strengthen modern infrastructure, education, healthcare, tourism and investment in the region.
The Chief Minister was addressing an inauguration and foundation stone-laying ceremony for development works organised at Bidyari in Bayana, Bharatpur district, on Monday.
