Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday regretted that the Delhi-Meerut Highway contractors have failed to construct adequate roadside facilities where people can ease themselves.
The minister said that although people were thanking him for the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, but he has seen picture of one badly constructed road-side amenity on the expressway.
“People are happy with the Delhi-Meerut Express highway. Lots of people are thanking me.
“(But), there is one roadside amenity on Delhi-Meerut highway. I have seen the picture, I don’t want to take the name of the contractor. But, the roadside amenity that he has constructed is so bad and dirty that one can’t even use the toilet facility,” he added.
