Good to see Scindia ji taking personal interest in monitoring these projects. The expressway to Agra will be a game-changer for business and tourism. Hope the land acquisition process goes smoothly without affecting local farmers.

Water distribution project under Nal Jal Yojana is the most important one for common people. Gwalior faces water scarcity every summer. Hope this brings permanent solution to our water problems 💧

As someone who travels frequently through Gwalior station, the proposed upgrades sound fantastic! Escalators and better waiting areas will make such a difference for elderly passengers and families with luggage.

While these projects sound promising, I hope the quality monitoring continues throughout. Too often we see good initial work but poor maintenance later. The focus on local stone and heritage is appreciated though!

Elevated roads and western bypass will definitely reduce traffic congestion. The city has become so crowded these days. Hope they complete these projects before 2027 as promised! 🚗
