Today Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh have embarked on a new path of development and trust: PM Modi

Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an election rally in Ballabhgarh today. Hailing the people of the state, PM Modi said, “Haryana is the land of brave and the land of saints.”

Speaking at the rally, PM Modi said, “During the last election, the opponents were asking me, you are here to ask for votes, but who is your captain? My answer then was, if Haryana elects us, the state would not just get a firm captain, Haryana would also get a firm team.”

“You have given me five years' time. It's not even been five months since the formation of the new government, but I am taking steps one by one. Today, world leaders want to stand with India,” said the PM.

Stepping up his attack on the opposition for going to foreign countries and asking for intervention over nullification of Article 370, the Prime Minister dared them, "if they have guts", to declare in their poll manifesto that they will restore the provisions giving special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

“Today J&K and Ladakh is on the way to development, and the credit for this must go to the 130 crore Indian citizens and voters. It was because you pressed the 'lotus' symbol that I got the power to fulfill your dreams, he added furthermore.

Addressing his first campaign rally in the run-up to the October 21 Haryana Assembly polls in Ballabhgarh, PM Modi said that during the Lok Sabha elections, Congress had applied full force so that India shouldn't get Rafale, a new fighter jet. But despite their attempts and conspiracies, we got Rafale to India.

PM Modi talked about the several central schemes which are benefiting the people of Haryana at large. He said, “In the past five years, almost 9 lakh toilets have been built in Haryana. More than 32,000 homes have also been built in Haryana. Also, a number of modern connectivity projects are being developed in the state.”

July 01, 2026

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved the construction of 117.7 km Kanpur–Kabrai Access-Controlled Greenfield Highway, a four-lane access-controlled corridor with structures designed for future six-laning, forming a key segment of the Bhopal–Kanpur Economic Corridor under the National Highways (O) Programme. With an estimated total capital cost of Rs.7145.14 crore, the project will be implemented by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on BOT (Toll) mode, together with the operation and maintenance of the existing Kanpur-Kabrai section of NH-34.

The project will provide seamless, high-speed connectivity between Kanpur and Kabrai, while strengthening onward connectivity to Sagar, Bhopal and other parts of Madhya Pradesh, thereby creating a modern access controlled economic corridor linking the industrial and commercial centres of Uttar Pradesh with mineral-rich, manufacturing and agricultural regions of Madhya Pradesh thereby improving.

Designed for operating speeds of 80–100 kmph, the corridor will reduce travel time between Kanpur and Kabrai from 3.5 hours to 1.5 hours (58%), while improving road safety, reducing vehicle operating costs and facilitating efficient movement of passenger and freight traffic. The project will also provide strategic connectivity with NH-34, NH-35, the Bundelkhand Expressway, Kanpur Ring Road, and State Highways SH-46, SH-91, SH-10B and SH-42, thereby strengthening integration with the regional highway network. The corridor further strengthen connectivity to the Kabrai mining belt, improving the movement of minerals, industrial goods, construction materials and agricultural produce, thereby enhancing logistics efficiency, supply chain resilience and regional economic development.

Aligned with the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, the project will improve connectivity to 16 Economic Nodes, including the Unnao, Banther, Pankhi, Rania, Jainpur, Rooma, Chakeri, Sumerpur and Bhuragarh Industrial Areas, Trans Ganga Integrated Township, Growth Centre Jaipur, Kanpur Nagar Node and Bengal Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. It will also strengthen connectivity to 9 Social Nodes, namely Fatehpur, Mahoba, Kanpur Zoological Park, Buddha Park, J.K. Temple & Garden, Radha Krishna Temple, Siddheshwar Mahadev Temple, Gopeshwar Mandir and Mahoba Tourist Place, and 10 Logistics Nodes, including Kanpur, Ghatampur, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Kabrai, Bharwa Sumerpur and Banda Railway Stations, together with Kanpur, Chakeri and Khajuraho Airports.

Overall, improve logistics competitiveness, industrial development and economic growth across Bundelkhand and adjoining regions of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, while advancing the objectives of PM GatiShakti.

The project is expected to generate approximately 11,188 direct and 13,985 indirect person-days of employment per lane per km during construction and is projected to carry an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of about 18,069 Passenger Car Units (PCUs) by FY 2028, underscoring its long-term economic, logistics and transport significance. The proposed project will thus generate close to 1.2 Crore person-days of direct employment and indirect employment.
