#WATCH | Raipur, Chhattisgarh: CM Vishnu Deo Sai says, "Heartiest wishes to all the people of Chhattisgarh on the occasion of Vijayadashami. It is a matter of great fortune for Chhattisgarh that the state has received the gift of new train services—specifically, two new rail lines: one from Raipur to Kurud and another from Raipur to Rowghat. I extend my deepest gratitude and thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and also to the Railway Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw. This will certainly improve connectivity for the people of the Bastar region, boost trade and commerce, and provide better access to facilities in sectors like healthcare and education. Furthermore, work is currently underway on the railway line extending from Raipur to Kurud and onwards to Dhamtari. In the near future, rail services will also be available to the public from Raipur to Dhamtari. Previously, the state used to receive Rs 300 crore; today, that budget has increased 24-fold, reaching Rs 7,500 crore for the railways."
