GK and monthly revision
Modi hits out at critics as he opens freight corridor
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated key sections of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC), a major infrastructure project aimed at decongesting rail networks and boosting freight efficiency. During the event, he strongly countered Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's criticism, terming it an 'echo of lies'. The WDFC, spanning 1,506 km from Dadri (UP) to JNPT (Maharashtra), is part of the larger Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) initiative. This development is significant for exams as it covers infrastructure policy, governance rhetoric, and flagship national projects under the PM Gati Shakti framework.
