Nitin Gadkari looking forward to start work on roads
Union Minister for Surface Transport, Highways and Roads, Nitin Gadkari, accompanied by MOS, Prime Minister’s Office, Dr Jitendra Singh, met Governor NN Vohra here at Raj Bhawan today. Gadkari and the Governor discussed issues relating to the aftermath of the devastation caused by the floods, particularly the damage caused to the road network and washing away of several important bridges.
The Governor also raised with Gadkari the importance of speeding-up the completion of ongoing four-laning of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway project, the need for establishing an alternate route to the existing Batote-Doda road, and the measures required to be taken to reduce the continuously growing number of fatal casualties on account of recurring road accidents in certain areas of the state.
The floods have caused a lot of problems on the roads. The construction and the maintenance works should start as soon as problem in order to amend the problems that have been piling up. The transport and highways minister is looking into the fact that the works do not pile up and start as soon as possible.
