The parliamentary standing committee on transport, tourism and culture in its report on Wednesday expressed concerns over delay in the construction of “port connectivity roads” under the Bharatmala Pariyojana, an umbrella highway development scheme.
The committee — headed by TG Venkatesh, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) MP from Andhra Pradesh — tabled its report in the Rajya Sabha on the third day of the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament.
The report pulled up the ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) over the “extremely slow progress of works” to connect major ports under the project.
