Notes on attribution
Announcement is not outcome
Target dates in these releases, such as the June 2022 completion date for Devika, are stated expectations. Later releases show the work was still under way in December 2023. Large infrastructure in the region, such as the Chenani–Nashri tunnel dedicated by the Prime Minister in April 2017, is listed here only where an official source records Dr. Jitendra Singh's role. The PIB release on that tunnel does not name him, so it is not attributed to him.
