Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Meerut on February 22, where he will inaugurate key urban transport projects, including the Metro service and the Namo Bharat train, to strengthen regional mobility and accelerate economic growth in western Uttar Pradesh.

According to the source, "During his visit, the Prime Minister will also address a public gathering. Projects are expected to boost commerce, real estate growth, and employment opportunities while easing travel for thousands of passengers in the region.

"The launch of the Metro is expected to improve intra-city connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and provide residents with a faster and more reliable mode of transport. The Namo Bharat train service will enhance high-speed regional connectivity, linking Meerut more efficiently with the National Capital Region and benefiting daily commuters, students, and business travellers", he added.

The visit is seen as significant for the region's infrastructure push, positioning Meerut as an emerging urban and economic hub in Western Uttar Pradesh.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Assam on February 14, where he is set to inaugurate and flag off development projects worth over Rs 5,450 crore, aimed at strengthening connectivity, digital infrastructure, higher education and urban mobility in the North-Eastern Region.

According to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), around 10:30 AM, the PM will land at the Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) on Moran Bypass in Dibrugarh, where he will witness the Aerial Display of Fighters, Transports and Helicopters. At around 1 PM, the Prime Minister will inspect the newly built Kumar Bhaskar Varma Setu across the River Brahmaputra. Later, at approximately 1:30 PM, he will inaugurate and flag off development projects valued at over Rs 5,450 crore at Lachit Ghat in Guwahati.

The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Guwahati, which will provide a major boost to higher and management education in the North-Eastern Region.

Finally, PM Modi will also flag off 225 electric buses under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme in Guwahati (100), Nagpur (50), Bhavnagar (50), and Chandigarh (25). With the launch of e-bus operations under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme in these four cities, more than 50 lakh citizens are expected to benefit from access to clean, affordable, and reliable public transport services, thereby improving urban mobility and enhancing quality of life.

Good to see infrastructure development in UP. But I hope the focus is also on maintaining these services long-term. We've seen many projects launched with fanfare, but the real test is efficient daily operation and upkeep.

The PM's schedule is relentless! From Meerut to Assam in a week, launching projects worth thousands of crores. The electric buses in Guwahati and other cities are a welcome step for cleaner air. Hope this pace of development continues.

As someone who has visited Meerut for business, improved connectivity is desperately needed. The Namo Bharat train linking it to Delhi will save so much time. This should boost the local economy significantly.

Development in the North-East and Western UP simultaneously shows a balanced approach. The new IIM in Guwahati is a big deal for education in the region. Infrastructure + education = long-term growth.

While the projects are good, I hope the public gathering in Meerut doesn't cause major traffic disruptions for residents on that day. The authorities should plan it carefully so the city isn't brought to a standstill.
