Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 11 national highway projects worth over Rs 20,027 crore in Haryana.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar thanked Gadkari and sought his intervention in resolving the long-pending issue with neighbouring Punjab regarding the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal so that his state could get its legitimate share of river water.
Khattar was speaking after Gadkari inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 11 highway projects through a web-based function.
He urged Gadkari to intervene and raise the SYL issue before the Central government for early resolution of the long-pending issue in the interest of Haryana.
