Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended heartfelt greetings to the people of Chhattisgarh on its 25th foundation day through a series of posts on his X handle, celebrating the state’s transformation from Maoist-hit zones to a hub of rapid development.

“Many best wishes to all my brothers and sisters of Chhattisgarh on the 25th anniversary of the state’s foundation day,” he wrote.

“This state, dedicated to nature and culture, is today setting new standards for progress. Many areas once affected by Naxalism are now competing for development.”

The Prime Minister arrived in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar on Saturday for a packed day-long itinerary, beginning at 10 a.m., with a series of inaugurations and foundation-laying ceremonies.
