Gadkari raises concerns over ‘poor quality DPRs’ for highway construction

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday expressed concerns over poor quality of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) prepared by consultants for the construction of highways, saying that no good work has been done in this regard in the last 10 years.

Addressing an event here, Gadkari said some officers of state-owned NHAI are responsible for bankruptcy of various infrastructure companies.

“In the last 10 years, no good work had been done in preparation of DPRs… I am worried about the poor quality of DPRs prepared by consultants,” the road transport and highways minister said.
