Centre fearlessly developing border areas of Northeast: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the country is “fearlessly developing” infrastructure in the border areas of the northeast by doing away with a notion that developing these areas would be advantageous for the enemy.

“Now we are fearlessly going ahead and building roads, bridges, tunnels, railway lines, airstrips and whatever is required are being developed swiftly. Border villages which were once isolated are now being made vibrant,” Modi said addressing a public rally here in Polo grounds on the occasion of North eastern Council’s golden jubilee celebrations.

Lashing out at the previous government for its notion that “if the border areas are developed and connectivity improved it would be advantageous for the enemies,” Modi said, he can’t understand the thought-process of the previous governments.

“Due to this notion of the previous governments, the connectivity in the northeast and other border areas of the country was not developed,” Modi said while announcing a new scheme for these border areas. “It’s an important scheme called the Vibrant Village scheme. Under this scheme, villages in the border areas would get better facilities and this would benefit the northeast,” the PM said.
