MADHYA PRADESH (Metro Rail News): On 14th September, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath laid the foundation stone for Rs 7500.80-crore metro rail project in the state’s commercial capital.
Amid chanting of mantras, Nath performed the ‘Bhumipujan’ (ground-breaking) ceremony for the project on MR-10 Road here.
