The family of Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, one of the two women military officers who held briefings on India's cross-border strikes on terror infrastructure under Operation Sindoor, joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi's roadshow in Gujarat's Vadodara on Monday. Colonel Qureshi's parents, Taj Mohammad and Halima Qureshi, welcomed Modi as people lined the streets for the road show that started at Vadodara's Harni Airport and featured cultural performances. Over 50,000 people were expected to gather for another roadshow of Modi in Ahmedabad later on Monday, the first day of his two-day visit to Gujarat. Modi is scheduled to inaugurate and lay the foundation for development projects worth over ₹82,950 in Dahod, Bhuj, and Gandhinagar during his first visit to his home state after Operation Sindoor. Hoardings have been put across Ahmedabad, celebrating the armed forces' successes in the operation. Officials said Modi will inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for 33 development projects worth ₹53,414 crore in Bhuj, which was among the places Pakistan targeted with drones in retaliation for the cross-border strikes. These projects encompass the Kandla Port infrastructure, solar energy, power transmission, and road and building development. In Dahod's Kharod, Modi will launch railway, water supply, roads, buildings, urban development, and housing projects worth over ₹24,000 crore.
