<h1>Government approves five key infrastructure projects to boost connectivity, logistics, and defense under national plan</h1> A government planning group reviewed five infrastructure projects from the road and railway ministries aimed at enhancing multimodal connectivity and logistics efficiency under a national master plan. The projects include a new six-lane tunnel in a major city to reduce congestion and improve freight movement, a 245 km expressway connecting key airports and economic hubs to boost regional development, and the widening of a highway near a western border to support defense logistics and interstate trade. Railway initiatives involve constructing a new 25 km line to serve industrial areas and doubling a 141 km track near important religious sites and ports to improve passenger and freight transport while enhancing strategic defense capabilities. These projects collectively target improved travel times, economic growth, and integrated transport infrastructure.
