lok Sabha Speaker and Indore MP Sumitra Mahajan on Tuesday took a serious note of delay in completion of all highways and other major roads presently under construction and directed the authorities concerned to finish off the road construction works within the stipulated and extended time frame.
Reviewing construction of roads in rural areas of Indore district at the Residency Kothi on Tuesday, Mahajan first reviewed construction of under-construction six-lane road on the Bypass being constructed by the National Highway Authority of India.
In the meeting, it was informed that the construction work on six-lane road on Indore-Rau bypass was lying idle for three months for lack of fund, even as people are being charged toll tax on this road.
Mahajan also reviewed works of Indore-Ahmadabad, Indore-Betul, Rau-Indore-Dewas, Rau-Choithram square and Niranjanpur-Manglya six-lane roads directing the authorities concerned to speed up completion of these roads by removing the roadblocks, if any coming in its way.
The lok Sabha Speaker also reviewed works of roads, culverts, which are supposed to be completed before Simhasth next year. She asked officials to ensure that all major, minor roads under construction in Indore district get completed within next two years.
Besides officials of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), the meeting was also attended by senior Government officials, Devraj Singh Parihar, Chandrakumar Makhija, and district panchayat vice-president Gopal Singh Choudhary, respectively.
