Saddened by the mishap at the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. Praying that the injured recover at the earliest. The local authorities are providing all possible assistance to those affected.
An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be given to the next of kin of each deceased. The injured would be given Rs. 50,000: PM @narendramodi

@SteelMinIndia@AmritMahotsav@mygovindia@JM_Scindia@fskulaste Nicely put. There are many other sectors where steel in some form is used. The last few years have seen big efforts by our steel manufacturers to add capacity in value added speciality steel. Steel Ministry’s Steel Import Monitoring System would be of great help
Happy to learn Hon’ble PM @narendramodi inaugurating #VanijyaBhawan. For 2 years as DGS&D & Spl Secy Logistics was associated till PM laid foundation stone. Got active support & encouragement from @nsitharaman, the then Secretary Rita Teaotia & the then Secretary @MoHUA_India

Happy to know that @GeM_India has achieved order value of Rs 1 Lakh Crore in a single year! This is a significant increase from previous years. The GeM platform is especially empowering MSMEs, with 57% of order value coming from MSME sector.
Supply Chain Resilience Initiative of India, Japan and Austrailia will go a long way in addressing some of the supply chain gaps and issues exacerbated by the pandemic. Can be progressed with greater vigour in times to come @PiyushGoyal@PMOIndia@DrSJaishankar @Logistics_MoC
A much needed addition to @GeM. The original objective was to bring all procurement on one transparent accountable efficient portal @FinMinIndia@DoC_GoI@PMOIndia
