Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit again the third time in this month to poll-bound Gujarat on Sunday, where he will lay foundation stones for a number of projects in Bhavnagar and Vadodara districts.
Modi will launch the first phase of the ₹ 615-crore ‘roll-on, roll-off (ro-ro)’ ferry service between Ghogha in Bhavnagar district and Dahej in Bharuch in the Gulf of Cambay.
The ferry service will reduce the distance between the two towns from 310 kilometers by road to 30 kilometers.
PM said while addressing a meeting at Gandhinagar on Monday.
He will address an assembly in Ghogha and undertake a journey to Dahej from Ghogha on the ferry. From Dahej, he will go Vadodara, where he is scheduled to lay the foundation stones for projects worth over Rs 1,140 crore.
In the second phase, which would be set in two months, cars can also be passed between the two towns.
Modi had laid the foundation stone for the project in January 2012, when he was the chief minister of Gujarat.
In Vadodara, Modi will inaugurate eight different projects worth ₹ 1,140 crore.
The other projects are a ₹ 166-crore water treatment plant, two flyovers jointly worth ₹ 265 crore, a ₹ 55-crore deer safari park, and a ₹ 6-crore veterinary hospital.
He will also attend to people at Navlakhi compound in Vadodara.
His visits suppose significance as Assembly elections are due in Gujarat in December.
