Clearing bottlenecks in highway projects- Top priority- Krishan Pal
The new minister of state for road transport & highways and shipping Krishan Pal after taking charge is all set to bring about a change in the transport sector. During the ten years of UPA regime many highway projects were stalled and reviving and expediting those projects and building a sound infrastructure for the nation will be the top priority of his ministry.
On Thursday in New Delhi Pal addressed the press conference and mentioned that Highways projects worth Rs 1.5 lakh crore are stuck due to some regulatory hurdles and labour problems. They will be resumed soon and the quality of roads will be improved and more highways will be added to the network.
Hopes of the nation are high on this senior BJP leader Pal, who won from Faridabad constituency registering highest victory margin in Haryana. Pal also mentioned that minimising road accidents, road safety and making Delhi congestion free also will be some of the top focus areas for his ministry. Apart from the transport sector, the projects in the shipping sector also will be accelerated and the nation can run faster on this advanced network of roads and water transportation.
