Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate the ₹421 crore strategically important Sankrail-Santragachi link line in Howrah to the nation today. The inauguration will take place in the august presence of Shri Suvendu Adhikari, Chief Minister of West Bengal and other dignitaries.
This strategic link line is a critical addition that will boost operational capacity, maximize regional train movement, support escalating logistics demands and reduce daily commuting times in West Bengal.
Prime Minister Modi will also lay the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art, 300-bed New Divisional Railway Hospital in Howrah, to be built at an estimated cost of ₹99 crore.
This modern healthcare facility will be comprehensively equipped with advanced diagnostic setups, cutting-edge medical systems, and specialized clinical services, bringing world-class healthcare access directly to thousands of hardworking railway employees, pensioners, and their families.
Moreover, the PM will lay the foundation stone for a road-over-bridge between Haur and Radhamohanpur in Purba Medinipur, executed at a cost of ₹71 crore to de-congest traffic for daily passengers and commercial cargo logistics.
