Can use our highways for building lakes, says Gadkari
Union Minister for Road, Transport and Highway Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said his ministry can address the water woes faced in parts of the country.
“You all know that the Centre has come up with the ‘Amrit Sarovar’ scheme. The road, transport and highway ministry can do great work in addressing the water woes,” he said during the ‘Manthan’ programme under the ‘Bharatmala’ series in Bengaluru.
The ‘Mission Amrit Sarovar’ was launched on National Panchayati Raj Day on April 24, 2022, as a part of the celebration of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav with an objective to conserve water for the future. The Mission, launched by the Ministry of Rural Development, is aimed at developing and rejuvenating 75 water bodies in each district of the country.
