“Jammu and Kashmir is touching new heights of development today because it is breathing freely,” the Prime Minister said in Srinagar on Thursday — his first visit since the abrogation of Article 370.
Hitting out at the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday accused the Congress of “misleading” the nation over the now-abrogated Article 370.
“ Jammu and Kashmir is touching new heights of development today because it is breathing freely,” the Prime Minister said in Srinagar on Thursday — his first visit since the abrogation of Article 370.
Calling J&K the “head of India”, PM Modi added that the path to development here will “emerge from tourism possibilities” and the “empowerment of farmers”. “Developed Jammu and Kashmir is a priority for developed India,” the Prime Minister added.
During his visit, PM Modi unveiled multiple development projects, this time worth more than Rs 6,400 crore. These include projects for the tourism sector under the “Swadesh Darshan” and “PRASHAD” (Pilgrimage Rejuvenation And Spiritual, Heritage Augmentation Drive) schemes. This also includes a project for the integrated development of the Hazratbal shrine in Srinagar.
“Development projects being dedicated today will boost development of Jammu and Kashmir,” PM Modi said during a public rally in Srinagar.
