Chambal Express Way to Be Named As "Atal Bihari Vajpayee Progress Way".

MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday announced that the proposed 300-km long ‘Chambal Progress Way’ in the state would be named after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

On Sunday, after paying tributes to Vajpayee on his second death  anniversary at the state BJP headquarters, Chouhan also announced that a statue of the former PM would be installed in Bhopal. "We have decided today to name the Chambal Progress Way (an express-way) as Atal Bihari Vajpayee Progress Way. The name of Atal Ji will always inspire us for development," he told reporters at the state headquarters of the BJP.

"A divine and magnificent statue of Atalji will be installed in Bhopal," he added. Chouhan also said that the state government will observe December 25 as ‘Sushasan Diwas’ (good governance day) every year to mark Vajpayee’s birthday.
