New Delhi, July 30: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Pune in Maharashtra on Tuesday during which he will perform ‘pooja’ at Dagdusheth Mandir, will be conferred Lokmanya Tilak National Award and will lay the foundation stone for various development projects.
Prime Minister Modi will visit Pune on August 1 and at around 11 am, he will perform ‘darshan and pooja’ at Dagdusheth Mandir, a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said.
At 11.45 am, he will be conferred the Lokmanya Tilak National Award. Thereafter, at 12.45 pm, the Prime Minister will flag off metro trains and inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for various development projects.
Modi will flag off Metro trains marking inauguration of services on completed sections of the two corridors of Pune Metro Phase I. These sections are from Phugewadi station to Civil Court station and Garware College station to Ruby Hall Clinic station, it said. The foundation stone for the project was also laid by Prime Minister Modi in 2016.
The new sections will connect important places of the Pune city like Shivaji Nagar, Civil Court, Pune Municipal Corporation office, Pune RTO and Pune Railway Station.
The inauguration is an important step towards realising the vision of the Prime Minister to provide the citizens with modern and environment-friendly mass rapid urban transport systems across the country, the statement said.
The design of some of the metro stations on the route draws inspiration from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, it said. The Chhatrapati Sambhaji Udyan Metro Station and Deccan Gymkhana metro stations have a unique design resembling the headgear worn by soldiers of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj – also known as “Mavala Pagadi”.
The Shivaji Nagar underground Metro station has a distinctive design which reminds of the forts built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. .(PTI)
