Union home minister Amit Shah said the Northeast region is moving forward on a new path of peace, stability and development under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Northeast is moving forward on a new path of peace, stability and development today under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi,” Amit Shah said after inaugurating several development works and laying the foundation of various projects worth Rs 2,415 crore in the Northeastern state on April 1.
He said: “Once upon a time violence was spread by insurgent groups in the Northeast, there was a lack of rail, road and air connectivity and there was no sign of development. However, in the last 9 years due to the efforts of the Government of India under the leadership of PM Modi and with the cooperation of the people, there has been peace in the region.”
He appealed to the organisations indulging in violence in the Northeast to join the mainstream and be a part of the democratic process and contribute to the development of the country.
Shah said connectivity has increased and there has been development at par with other parts of India.
With the efforts of Modi ji and the cooperation of the local people, peace has been established in Northeast.
