Alleging no action, Tamil Nadu takes back 144 km road from NHAI
CHENNAI: Two years after being brought under National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for widening, two highways running for about 144 km in western districts of the State had been returned back to the Tamil Nadu highways department.
The inordinate delay in developing the roads into four lanes by NHAI had been cited as one of the reasons for bringing the roads under State highways. The move seemingly planned at improving road connectivity towards Dharmapuri, Hosur and Bengaluru. A week ago the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari confirmed the development after meeting the Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami.
