NEW DELHI: The Government has decided to reduce time frame by three months of 300 projects scheduled for completion in June 2019, and now those are likely to be completed by March next year, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said today.
The move, which comes at a time when less than a year has been left for 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Gadkari said is aimed at fast-tracking schemes to deliver world-class infrastructure to people with no “political interest”.
He said the sole intention of the Government was to work on a “mission mode” to bolster development.
“All projects which were scheduled to be completed by June 2019, will be completed before March 2019 … We have given this target to everyone,” the Road Trransport and Highways Minister said.
Gadkari, who was addressing the media here following a two-day review of over 700 ongoing National Highways projects in 20 states, said the Ministry has identified about 300 projects for completion by March 2019. Of these, about 100 projects are likely to be completed by December 2018. (AGENCIES)
