PM Modi to launch Thiruvananthapuram development plan on Friday
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is heading to Thiruvananthapuram this Friday to roll out a big urban makeover plan.
He'll hand the blueprint to Mayor V V Rajesh, kick off major infrastructure upgrades, and mark his visit to Thiruvananthapuram.
This move also checks off a promise made during local elections.
What's happening during his visit?
Modi will flag off four new train services, though one of them, the Thrissur-Guruvayur passenger train, does not involve Thiruvananthapuram—making travel easier for everyone.
The city's aiming high: metro expansion, river clean-ups, and a push for top-three status are all on the agenda.
He'll also lay the foundation for an innovation hub focused on Ayurvedic research and green tech, lay the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art Radiosurgery Centre at the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute, launch credit cards for street vendors, and inaugurate the new Poojappura Head Post Office—so it's a packed day of progress.
