Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday stated that she has held discussions with all stakeholders on development plans for her constituency and expressed hope that pending projects in Wayanad will be cleared now.
"For development of Wayanad, I have held discussions with all concerned, and now that we have a govt here, we are hopeful that we will be able to do a lot of work," Gandhi said while speaking to the reporters. She cited the medical college, tribal university, and pending road projects as key works that were held up by the previous government. "The medical college, tribal university, the pending road projects -- many projects which were held up by the last govt, which we want to clear. We are hopeful," she added. The Congress MP inaugurated a newly constructed railway platform shelter at the Thuvvur railway station, marking a significant step toward improving passenger amenities in the region. Funded under the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) through a grant sanctioned by former Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi, the Rs 28 lakh infrastructure project aims to provide much-needed relief to commuters from harsh weather conditions. The new shelter is expected to provide improved protection and comfort for passengers waiting on the platform, enhancing basic infrastructure and commuter convenience at the station. The inauguration was attended by public representatives, railway officials, and residents. Earlier in the day, MP Vadra flagged off a new Rapid Response Team (RRT) vehicle at the Nilambur Divisional Forest Office, aimed at bolstering the Forest Department's emergency preparedness. The RRT vehicle has been deployed to strengthen the Forest Department's emergency response, particularly in handling human-wildlife conflict situations and ensuring faster field operations. Forest Department officials, public representatives, and local dignitaries attended the flag-off ceremony. (ANI)
