Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and MLA N.H. Konaraddi will participate in the local program organized for this occasion.
Additionally, Prime Minister Modi will oversee the commencement of the redevelopment of 553 railway stations under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, a monumental undertaking aimed at modernizing and revitalizing key transportation hubs across the nation.
