From development to trust, the remote villages of Bastar and Surguja to become partners in Chhattisgarh’s journey of progress – Union Home Minister Amit Shah
Our government is working swiftly to enhance public amenities – Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai
First phase covers Bastar and Surguja divisions: Passenger bus services to reach 250 villages across 11 districts for the first time
Raipur (thestates.news) | The end of Naxalism in Bastar is near, and soon peace will be established in the region, paving the way for new milestones of development, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday. He launched the Chief Minister Rural Bus Scheme from Jagdalpur and flagged off passenger buses along with Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai. Both leaders extended their best wishes to the people for this landmark initiative.
Union Home Minister Shah said that the double-engine government is committed to Chhattisgarh’s development. The elimination of Left-Wing Extremism will connect the state’s remote areas to the mainstream of growth. The newly launched bus services, he added, will infuse fresh energy into people’s lives. With this initiative, residents of 250 villages will now have easier access to nearby government offices, schools and hospitals.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai congratulated the people and said that his government is working rapidly to enhance public amenities. The Chief Minister Rural Bus Scheme aims to provide passenger bus services in villages that were previously deprived of such connectivity. With this, people will be able to travel to their destinations on time at a lower cost, while also finding greater convenience in their daily work, government tasks and other activities.
Launched with the objective of strengthening transport facilities in rural and remote areas, the ambitious Chief Minister Rural Bus Scheme seeks to provide bus services to villages that have so far been untouched by public transport. The scheme will ensure safe, timely and affordable travel, significantly improving the standard of living in rural areas.
