Prime Minister Narendra Modi visted poll-bound Karnataka to attend multiple programmes in Mandya and Hubballi-Dharwad on Sunday. He will dedicate and lay the foundation stones of projects worth around ₹16,000 crores, during his visit in which the inauguration of the ambitious 10-lane Bengaluru – Mysuru expressway built around a cost of ₹8,480 crore remains a major highlight.
In all, the PM will also lay the foundation stone for the four-lane Mysuru – Kushalnagar highway to be built at the cost of around ₹4130 crores. The project is expected to reduce the travel time between the destinations from 5 hours to only 2.5 hours.
