PM Modi inaugurates Sudarshan Setu, India's longest cable-stayed bridge in Gujarat's Dwarka

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has officially opened the Sudarshan Setu, previously known as the 'Signature Bridge', in Gujarat's Dwarka. Spanning approximately 2.32 km, the Sudarshan Setu connects the Okha mainland with Beyt Dwarka, marking a significant milestone in India's infrastructure development. Accompanied by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, PM Modi's inauguration of the bridge heralds a new era of connectivity and accessibility for residents and pilgrims alike.

The Sudarshan Setu, with its distinctive design and incorporation of solar panels generating one megawatt of electricity, serves as a crucial link between Okha and Beyt Dwarka. This monumental project, initiated by the Centre in 2017 and realized at a cost of Rs 978 crore, streamlines travel for devotees visiting the revered Dwarkadhish Temple. Prime Minister Modi's visit to Gujarat, kickstarted with a vibrant roadshow in Jamnagar, underscores the government's commitment to fostering development and connectivity across the nation.
