Prime Minister Narendra Modi will commence on a three-day visit to Mizoram, Manipur, Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar from tomorrow onwards. As part of his visit, PM Modi will inaugurate development projects, with the cumulative worth of ₹70,000 crore and is expected to cover sectors like railways, roads, energy, healthcare, education, and aviation, alongside cultural and strategic engagements.

As per a statement released from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Modi will begin his tour with Aizawl, in Mizoram, on September 13. Here he will launch projects worth ₹9,000 crore. A highlight will be the inauguration of the ₹8,070 crore Bairabi–Sairang rail line, connecting the Mizoram capital to the Indian Railways network for the first time. Modi will also flag off three new express trains linking Aizawl with Delhi, Guwahati, and Kolkata.

Other key projects in the state include the ₹500 crore Aizawl Bypass Road under the PM-DevINE scheme, new road and bridge works, a Khelo India Multipurpose Indoor Hall, an LPG bottling plant, and two residential schools aimed at improving education and youth development.

Later on, after his Mizoram trip, PM Modi will travel to Manipur. Here, he will lay the foundation store of projects worth ₹7,300 crore in Churachandpur, including five national highway works, the Manipur Urban Roads and Drainage Project, and the Manipur Infotech Development initiative.
