In line with his commitment to improving connectivity, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the 8.15 km long Aunta - Simaria bridge project on NH-31, including the 1.86 km long 6 lane Bridge on river Ganga, constructed at a cost of over Rs 1,870 crore. It will provide direct connectivity between Mokama in Patna and Begusarai, the release added. The bridge has been constructed parallel to an old 2-lane dilapidated rail-cum-road bridge "Rajendra Setu" which is in poor condition, forcing heavy vehicles to re-route. The new bridge will reduce the extra travel distance of more than 100 km for heavy vehicles travelling between North Bihar (Begusarai, Supaul, Madhubani, Purnea, Araria, etc.) and South Bihar areas (Sheikhpura, Nawada, Lakhisarai, etc.). It will also help alleviate traffic congestion in other parts of the region by reducing the detour that these vehicles were forced to take. It will boost economic growth in the adjoining areas, especially in North Bihar, which relies on South Bihar and Jharkhand for the necessary raw materials. It will also provide better connectivity to the famous pilgrimage place of Simaria Dham, which is also the birthplace of the famous poet Late Shri Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the four-lane Bakhtiyarpur to Mokama section of NH-31, worth around Rs 1,900 crore, which will ease congestion, reduce travel time, and enhance passenger and freight movement.

The centre includes advanced Oncology OPD, IPD wards, operation theatres, a modern lab, a blood bank, and a 24-bed ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and HDU (High Dependency Unit). This state-of-the-art facility will provide advanced and affordable cancer care to patients in Bihar and neighbouring states, reducing the need to travel to distant metros for treatment, said the release. Furthering his vision of Swachh Bharat and ensuring Aviral and Nirmal Dhara of the river Ganga, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) and Sewerage Network at Munger constructed under Namami Gange worth over Rs 520 crore.

A 13.61 km-long newly constructed metro network will be inaugurated, and metro services will be launched on these routes. He will visit the Jessore Road Metro Station, where he will flag off the Noapara-Jai Hind Bimanbandar metro service from Jessore Road, added the release. In addition, through video conferencing, he will also flag off the Sealdah-Esplanade metro service and the Beleghata-Hemanta Mukhopadhyay metro service. He will also undertake a metro ride from Jessore Road Metro Station to Jai Hind Bimanbandar and back. At the public function, the Prime Minister will inaugurate these metro sections and a newly constructed subway at Howrah Metro Station. The Noapara-Jai Hind Bimanbandar metro service will significantly improve access to the airport. The Sealdah-Esplanade metro will reduce the travel time between the two points from nearly 40 minutes to only 11 minutes. The Beleghata-Hemanta Mukhopadhyay metro section will play a crucial role in enhancing connectivity with the IT hub. These metro routes will connect some of Kolkata's busiest areas, bring a notable reduction in travel time, and strengthen multimodal connectivity, benefiting lakhs of daily commuters, added the release. In a significant boost to road infrastructure in the region, the Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone of the 7.2 km-long six-lane elevated Kona Expressway worth over Rs 1,200 crore.

APM Terminals to develop AP ports with Rs. 9,000 crore
Amaravati: Efforts by the Andhra Pradesh government to transform the state into the 'Gateway of India's East Coast' are taking a tangible shape. In a significant step, APM Terminals, a subsidiary of AP Moller-Maersk, a global leader in shipping logistics and port operations, on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Maritime Board to develop ports in the state with an investment of Rs 9,000 crore. The agreement, signed in the presence of Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, outlined a partnership for the development of ports and infrastructure in the state. APM Terminals will develop and upgrade the ports of Ramayapatnam, Machilipatnam, and Moolapeta. The company will install and manage modern terminals and cargo handling systems, a move expected to create 10,000 direct jobs. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister stressed that APM Terminals' services should also cater to the domestic cargo market. He urged the company to help create a robust economic ecosystem around the ports. The CM reiterated that the government's objective is to build a 'future economy' centered on ports and logistics. The Chief Minister has directed officials to develop an integrated logistics plan to position Andhra Pradesh as the logistics hub of India. He requested APM Terminals to assist in creating a comprehensive plan for cargo transportation via rail, road, inland waterways, and air. Naidu highlighted that states like Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and parts of Odisha depend on Andhra Pradesh's ports. He suggested that the logistics plan should aim to ensure cargo from these regions can be transported at the lowest possible cost. The Chief Minister stated that the government's action plan would include developing a port or harbor every 50 kilometers along the state's 1,053-kilometer coastline. The signing ceremony was attended by Minister for Roads & Buildings BC Janardhan Reddy, Maritime Board Chairman Damacharla Satya, Industries Secretary Yuvaraj, other senior officials, and representatives from APM Terminals.

GST 2.0 Reforms: GoM panel greenlights Centre's Two-slab plan
New Delhi: The long-awaited revamp of Goods and Services Tax (GST) has moved a step closer with the Group of Ministers (GoM) on GST rate rationalisation agreeing to cut down the number of slabs. In a key meeting held on Thursday, the panel of state ministers accepted the Centre's plan to reduce the four-rate system to two main slabs of 5% and 18%. The move marks the beginning of what is being called GST 2.0, aimed at making the tax system simpler, easier to follow, and less of a burden on households and businesses. At present, GST is charged at four different rates: 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. Under the new structure, the 12% and 28% slabs will be scrapped. Goods and services will now mostly fall under 5% or 18%. A higher 40% levy will continue on a limited list of 'sin goods' such as tobacco and certain luxury items. The panel also recommended that luxury cars be brought under the 40% tax bracket. According to the plan, 99% of items that were earlier taxed at 12% will now move to the lower 5% slab. Similarly, nearly 90% of items under the 28% slab will shift down to 18%. The GoM was chaired by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary. Other members included Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna, Rajasthan Health Minister Gajendra Singh, West Bengal Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya, Karnataka Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, and Kerala Finance Minister K N Balagopal. The ministers reached a broad agreement after reviewing detailed proposals from the Finance Ministry. The Centre has said that the new structure will bring relief to households, farmers, and the middle class by lowering the GST rate on everyday items. Medicines, processed food, clothing, footwear, and several household products are expected to move to the 5% slab. Large household appliances, televisions, and other durable goods will fall under the 18% rate instead of the earlier 28%, which could reduce prices for middle-class families. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told the GoM earlier, 'The rate rationalisation will provide greater relief to the common man, farmers, the middle class and MSMEs, while ensuring a simplified, transparent and growth-oriented tax regime.' The GoM also discussed the Centre's plan to exempt health and life insurance for individuals from GST. If approved, this would mean policyholders would no longer need to pay GST on their premiums. Officials estimate that such an exemption could reduce government revenues by about Rs 9,700 crore every year. While most states supported the idea, they also asked for a mechanism to ensure that insurers pass on the benefit to customers instead of keeping premiums unchanged. The recommendations of the GoM will now be sent to the GST Council, which is chaired by the Union Finance Minister and includes representatives of all states. The Council is expected to review the proposals in its upcoming meeting and take a final call. If approved, the changes will mark one of the biggest reforms since GST was introduced in 2017. The government believes the simpler two-slab system will make compliance easier for businesses while also easing the tax burden for consumers.
