Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Friday
announced sanctioning of upcoming new projects worth Rs 1.6 lakh crore
in the northeast.
At a press conference in Guwahati on
the review of national highway (NH) projects in the northeastern region,
the Minister said these projects include roads, ropeways, RoBs, major
bridges across river Brahmaputra and other water bodies.
Gadkari said Multi Modal logistics parks have also been proposed at Udaipur in Tripura and Silchar in Assam.
He
said under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
"we're working towards bridging the connectivity gap in the northeast,
and giving momentum to transport infrastructure in the region".
"Around
50 Way Side Amenities and 50 Viewpoints are also being developed. Once
completed, it would give a significant boost to the Tourism sector and
economy in the northeastern region," he added.
Gadkari was on a three-day review programme of NH projects in northeast and Sikkim starting from Wednesday.
Discussions
related to land acquisition issues, progress of ongoing projects,
proposed projects, use of new technologies, disputes and arbitration and
possible financial interventions were discussed at length during the
review meetings.
He also reviewed the delayed projects in the
four states to understand the reasons for delay and issued specific
instructions to get them on track and has directed officials for the
speedy completion of projects.
