Ahmedabad, November 9, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said development projects worth Rs 25,000 crore had been completed in the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency over the past seven years, outlining the government’s infrastructure initiatives and setting a target of making it a “green and developed Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency”.
Addressing a gathering in Ahmedabad, Shah said projects worth approximately Rs 1,400 crore were being inaugurated or launched through foundation-stone ceremonies on Monday. The programme included 30 projects worth Rs 1,024 crore for inauguration and foundation laying, besides the inauguration of the ISKCON-Sanand Elevated Corridor, built at an estimated cost of Rs 464 crore.
Shah said the four-km-long elevated corridor connects ISKCON Junction to Sanand Flyover on the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway. Recalling his earlier motorcycle journeys between Sarkhej and Gandhinagar, he said the journey used to take around two-and-a-half hours due to traffic and signals.
“Three years from now, I am telling the people of Ahmedabad that they will be able to reach Gandhinagar from Sarkhej without encountering a single traffic signal,” he said, describing the planned expansion of elevated roads.
“Our target is to realise the vision of a green Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency and a developed Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency in the coming days,” Shah said.
He also highlighted housing initiatives at Ramapir no Tekro, where more than 1,100 houses have been inaugurated in two sectors. He said the larger redevelopment effort would improve living conditions and provide essential facilities to slum residents.
Shah referred to projects involving the Jaspur water treatment plant, drainage, sewage treatment and stormwater management. Other initiatives include a 30 MW solar power project, smart schools, urban health centres and civic facilities.
He said the government’s efforts were aimed at ensuring that infrastructure development kept pace with population growth and urban expansion. Shah also thanked residents of the constituency and congratulated beneficiaries of the newly inaugurated housing projects.
