Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday virtually inaugurated 103 redeveloped railway stations across 86 districts in 18 states and Union Territories under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. The redeveloped Amrit stations integrate modern infrastructure with regional heritage and are designed to offer improved facilities for passengers, including Divyangjan-friendly amenities and green features.
The prime minister, who arrived at Nal Airbase earlier in the day, first offered prayers at the famous Karni Mata Temple in Deshnoke. He was welcomed by Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, and Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal. Temple authorities presented him with a replica of the Karni Mata shrine, following which PM Modi offered prasad and a donation at the sanctum.
At the Deshnoke station, PM Modi inspected an exhibition and interacted with school children who presented him with paintings.
This marks PM Modi’s first visit to Rajasthan since the Indian forces carried out strikes on terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7. The visit also carries echoes of his post-Pulwama strike address in Churu in 2019.
