Speaking to the audience, he expressed his good wishes to the people of West Bengal from the historic site of Alipurduar.

The Prime Minister noted that Alipurduar is bordered by Bhutan on one side, while Assam lies on the other, surrounded by the scenic beauty of Jalpaiguri and the pride of Cooch Behar as essential components of the region.

“As India moves towards becoming a developed nation, Bengal’s participation is both expected and essential Bengal’s development as a foundational pillar of India’s future.  Today marks the addition of another strong milestone in that journey. He announced the launch of the City Gas Distribution Project in Alipurduar and Cooch Behar, which will provide clean, safe, and affordable piped gas to over 2.5 lakh households,” says PM Modi.
