Gandhinagar Road To Be Renamed After PM Modi's Mother Hiraba As She Turns 100 On June 18

Prime minister Modi, who will be in Gujarat on June 18, is likely to meet his mother, official sources said.

New Delhi: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother Hiraba is set to enter the 100th year of her life on June 18, a road in Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, was named for her on Wednesday. "When Hiraba is entering her 100th year, we have decided to name an 80-meter-road in Raysan area as Pujya Hiraba Marg so that the next generation takes inspiration from her life," Gandhinagar Mayor Hitesh Makwana announced.

Hiraba lives with the prime minister's younger brother Pankaj Modi at Raysan village on the outskirts of Gandhinagar city. The area falls under the BJP-ruled Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation.

“Hiraba was born on June 18, 1923. She will enter the 100th year of her life on June 18, 2022,” said Pankaj Modi.
