Overview
- In Bihar, the Prime Minister inaugurated the 8.15 km Aunta–Simaria project on NH-31, including a 1.86 km six-lane Ganga bridge connecting Mokama and Begusarai.
- He also opened the Buxar thermal power plant (660×1 MW), launched the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital in Muzaffarpur, and unveiled Namami Gange sewerage works in Munger with new urban water projects under AMRUT 2.0.
- Two trains were flagged off from Bihar: the Amrit Bharat Express between Gaya and Delhi and the Buddhist Circuit Train linking Vaishali and Koderma.
- In Kolkata, Modi inaugurated three metro sections — Noapara–Jai Hind Bimanbandar, Sealdah–Esplanade, and Beleghata–Hemanta Mukhopadhyay — rode the new airport link, opened a Howrah Metro subway, and laid the foundation for the 7.2 km six-lane Kona Expressway.
- The packages total roughly ₹18,000–₹18,200 crore, with about ₹13,000 crore in Bihar and ₹5,200 crore in Kolkata; travel times on key metro stretches fall sharply, including Sealdah–Esplanade to about 11 minutes, while West Bengal’s chief minister skipped the event as Modi addressed BJP rallies.
