Very soon the work of connecting all the state capitals of the North-East with rail service is going to be completed. Under the Act-East Policy, today North-East, Bangladesh, Myanmar and South-East Asia are also being connected.”

The Prime Minister also mentioned a National Infrastructure Master Plan that is being called Gati Shakti. He said that currently there is no coordinator between the means of transport in India, through Gati Shakti all obstacles will be removed.

He said, “Rapid progress is underway whether it is development of new waterways or connecting new places with seaplanes. Indian Railways is also rapidly adapting to its modern avatar. The pace at which new airports are being built in the country and the UDAN scheme connecting remote areas is unprecedented. We can see how better air connectivity gives new flights to people's dreams.”
