Modi@9:  From new Parliament to Statue of Unity, the wonders India got under PM

India got its new Parliament building on 28 May, two days prior to when Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on his second term in 2019.

The new Sansad is just one of the many architectural marvels India has received since Modi came to power.

It is bigger and high-tech with a built-up area of about 65,000 sq metres.

The Modi government earlier renamed Rajpath, formerly known as Kingsway, to Kartavya Path.

India Gate's Grand Canopy, once graced by King George V's statue, now proudly hosts a towering 28-feet statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

In October 2022, the Prime Minister Modi also  inaugurated the magnificent "Shri Mahakal Corridor" in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.

During last year's Hanuman Jayanti celebration, Modi presented Gujarat with a towering 108-foot statue of Lord Hanuman.

Prime Minister inaugurated the remarkable Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in December 2021.

The project seamlessly connects the revered Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi to the ghats of the sacred Ganga.

The corridor, dubbed the prime minister's "dream project," spans more than 5000 hectares.

In November 2021, he  also unveiled the 12-foot statue of Guru Adi Shankaracharya at Kedarnath in Uttarakhand.

A 35-tonne Shankaracharya statue was constructed at the seer's samadhi sthal in Uttarakhand.

The all-weather Atal tunnel in Himachal Pradesh was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October 2020.

It was recognised as the world’s longest single-tube highway at this height by the World Book of Records, London, in February last year.

In December 2018, PM inaugurated the 4.94-km-long Bogibeel Bridge over the mighty Brahmaputra in Assam, giving India its longest rail-cum-road bridge.

It is the second-longest such structure in Asia.

In October 2018, Narendra Modi inaugurated the Statue of Unity, a 182-metre giant structure built in honour of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Gujarat.

It is twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in the United States and holds the world record for the tallest statue.
