The Narendra Modi government is working to improve connections throughout the country, which is why train services are now available even in the most distant areas of the eastern states, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday.
He also praised the Modi government for approving the building of a high-speed four-lane highway in Bihar, called the Mokama-Munger greenfield corridor, which will cost 4,447 crore rupees. Shah made this statement following a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs that took place on Wednesday, during which various decisions were made.
"The Modi government is strengthening connectivity across the country, and as a result of this, railway facilities are now reaching even the remotest corners of our eastern states," Shah wrote in Hindi on 'X'.
The home minister said this will make travel in these states even more convenient and seamless. "Business, industry, and employment will also gain momentum from this," he said.

Shah added that the Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Modi, has authorised the construction of the Rs 4,447 crore Mokama-Munger high-speed, four-lane greenfield corridor.
"This corridor will facilitate smooth transportation between the Mokama, Barhiya, Lakhisarai, Jamalpur, Munger, and Bhagalpur regions of Bihar, boost tourism, accelerate industrial and commercial activities, and create employment opportunities," he said in another post. The 82.4 km Mokama-Munger section will be constructed on a hybrid annuity mode.
