Batna province is poised to become a hub for major development projects, including a new car manufacturing plant, according to RND Secretary-General, Monther Boudhen. The announcement was made during a public gathering in the province on Saturday.
Boudhen highlighted that the planned projects extend beyond automotive manufacturing, encompassing the construction of a 120-bed hospital and a new national highway connecting the cities of Barika and Biskra. These initiatives are expected to significantly improve infrastructure and healthcare access for the residents of Batna.
Addressing the growing need for improved urban transportation, Boudhen acknowledged the local population’s desire for a tramway line. He pledged his strong support for the project, emphasizing the province’s favorable terrain for tramway construction. Furthermore, he noted that a tramway system would play a crucial role in alleviating traffic congestion within the city.
The Secretary-General also revealed that Batna has benefited from approximately 13,000 housing units across various programs over the past three years, alongside numerous other urban development projects. This investment underscores the government’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for the province’s citizens.
Boudhen commended the farmers in the Aurès region for their significant contribution to achieving national self-sufficiency in several agricultural products. He affirmed his commitment to relaying their concerns and needs to the relevant authorities, ensuring their continued success and contribution to the nation’s food security. This focus on agricultural development demonstrates a holistic approach to growth in the region. The new projects aim to revitalize the area.
