Review on National Highway projects
The purpose of the meeting is to review the construction work of the ongoing highway projects in Chhattisgarh. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that the state of Chhattisgarh has always been supportive of the successful implementation of highway projects, but some projects are still running at a slow pace due to various obstacles. Through this meeting, efforts will be made to remove these obstacles.
Special attention on pending issues
Notably, Union Minister Gadkari has been reviewing the progress of ongoing projects in many states including Chhattisgarh to execute the work timely and efficiently. In the meeting, special attention will be given to issues related to clearance from the Forest Department, revenue and mining, as these are causing obstacles in many projects. Nitin Gadkari hopes that the review will resolve all pending issues and the projects can be taken forward rapidly.
