New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting the poll-bound states of West Bengal and Assam on Sunday.

The Prime Minister will first visit Assam and then move to West Bengal, where, he is scheduled to inaugurate a number of key projects.

In Bengal, PM Modi will inaugurate key infrastructure projects in the oil and gas sector and road sector in West Bengal in a public function to be held in Haldia.

West Bengal Governor JagdeepDhankar and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will be present during the inauguration.

The Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone of the second catalytic dewaxing unit at the Haldia Refinery of Indian Oil Corporation.

On the same day, the PM will dedicate to the nation an LPG import terminal built by Bharat Petroleum Corporation built at a cost of Rs.1097.54 Crore at Haldia.

The Prime Minister will also dedicate to the nation the 4 Lane ROB-cum-Flyover at Ranichak, Haldia on NH 41. It has been built at the cost of Rs 190 crore.

The commissioning of this flyover will result in uninterrupted movement of traffic from Kolaghat to Haldia Dock Complex and other surrounding areas, resulting in substantial saving in travel time and operating cost of heavy vehicles plying in and out of the port.

These projects are in line with Prime Minister’s vision of Purvodaya, of driving growth of Eastern India. Governor and Chief Minister of West Bengal, and Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas will be present on the occasion.

In Assam, Modi will launch ‘Asom Mala’, aimed at helping improve state highways and major district roads network in the State.

The programme is unique for its emphasis on effective maintenance through continuous field data collection and its linkage with the Road Asset Management System. ‘Asom Mala’ will provide quality inter-linkage roads between the National Highways and the rural roads network as well as facilitate seamless multi-modal transportation.

Both Assam and West Bengal are scheduled to go to polls in April-May.
