Surat, Nov 15 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday visited the under-construction bullet train station in Gujarat's Surat to review the progress of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR).

Later in the day, Prime Minister Modi will travel to Dediapada town in the tribal-dominated Narmada district, where he is scheduled to address a public gathering marking the birth anniversary of tribal icon Birsa Munda. As part of the visit, he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for a series of infrastructure and development projects worth over ₹9,700 crore, aimed at boosting connectivity, welfare, and economic growth in the region.

Before the event, the Prime Minister will offer prayers at the temple of Pandori Mata, the revered clan deity of the local tribal community, located in Devmogra village in Sagbara taluka, about 23 km from Dediapada.
