2024 LS polls: PM Modi says INDIA bloc ‘anti-Sanatan’
The PM asked the gathering whether a person who does not approve of Bharat Mata Ki Jai should get entry into Parliament.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated South Asia’s biggest ‘roll-on, roll-off’ (Ro-Ro) ferry service between Ghogha and Dahej in Gujarat on Sunday.
The ferry project is worth Rs 650 crore.
- The ferry service links Ghogha in Bhavnagar district in western Gujarat’s Saurashtra region and Dahej in Bharuch district in south Gujarat across the Gulf of Khambhat in the Arabian Sea.
- The R0-Ro service will reportedly shorten a 360-km distance to 31 km or a road journey of seven hours to one hour.
- The ferry can take up to 500 passengers. In subsequent phases, the ferries would also be able to transport cars and trucks across the Gulf.
- The idea for Ro-Ro ferry service was conceived in 1962. The foundation stone for current works was laid by Narendra Modi as the Chief Minister in 2012.
- The ferry service reportedly will save 15202 KL of fuel and reduce 48,000 MT tonnes of Co2 per year.
