Agra moves towards smart facilities
After the inauguration, PM Modi said that the Agra metro project will strengthen the mission associated with setting up smart facilities in Agra. He also said that the biggest problem with the infrastructure development in the country was that the projects would have been announced but the funds had not been given much attention. That’s why the project used to drag for years. But with the introduction of new projects, our government has also paid attention to the arrangement of funds for them.
