In the evening, Prime Minister Modi will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of various development projects worth around 830 crore at Singur in Hooghly district, West Bengal. He will lay the foundation stone of the Extended Port Gate System at Balagarh, including an Inland Water Transport terminal and a Road Over Bridge.

Spanning an area of approximately 900 acres, Balagarh is being developed as a modern cargo handling terminal with an envisaged capacity of about 2.7 million tonnes per annum. The Balagarh project aims to significantly improve cargo evacuation efficiency by diverting heavy cargo movement away from congested urban corridors.

Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Jayrambati-Barogopinathpur-Maynapur new rail line. This line is an important part of the Tarkeshwar-Bishnupur new rail line project.
