  • In another important point, the prime minister suggested the stakeholders appoint some nodal officers while working in high population-density urban places. The appointing of nodal officers is to create teams and work accordingly for enhanced coordination.
  • 2 projects are related to the expansion of National highways and connectivity.
  • The next 2 are concerning rail and metro rail connectivity.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi also reviewed the Mobile Towers and 4G Coverage falling under Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) Projects. This is looking after ensuring mobile connectivity of 24,149 mobile towers in 33,573 villages.
