*PM Modi launches development projects worth ₹40,000 crore in Purnea, Bihar*

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth around ₹40,000 crore in Bihar’s Purnea, covering sectors such as railways, airports, power and irrigation.

Addressing a public gathering, the Prime Minister said the projects would boost connectivity and infrastructure in Seemanchal, a region he described as central to Bihar’s progress. He noted that more than 40,000 families had received permanent housing under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, calling it a “new beginning” ahead of the festive season.

 

Marking Engineers’ Day, PM Modi also inaugurated the newly built terminal of Purnea Airport, completed in less than five months, and flagged off its first commercial flight. “With this launch, Purnea has been placed on the aviation map of India,” he said.
