Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Chhattisgarh for its transformation from a former red corridor to a peaceful state, noting the expansion from a single Delhi‑Raipur flight to four modern airports.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Chhattisgarh and highlighted the state’s remarkable shift from a once‑infamous red corridor to a region of peace and progress. He noted that 25 years ago, the state had only one daily flight between Delhi and Raipur, a stark contrast to today’s connectivity.
The leader pointed out that Chhattisgarh’s security situation has improved dramatically, with insurgent activity largely under control. This stability has paved the way for infrastructural investments and economic growth.
Among the most visible signs of development is the expansion of aviation infrastructure. The state now boasts four modern airports, a leap from the single Delhi‑Raipur link that existed a quarter of a century ago. These airports are expected to boost trade, tourism, and employment.
Modi concluded that Chhattisgarh’s transformation serves as a model for other regions, demonstrating how peace and development can go hand in hand.
