Hyderabad-based construction company IJM India has said it has set a new record by completing a 25.54km single-lane demarcation work in under 18 hours under the four-lane work of the Solapur-Bijapur highway, reports said on Sunday. Union minister for road, transport and highways Nitin Gadkari congratulated IJM India, a subsidiary of Malaysia’s IJM Construction Berhad, and officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for completing the project.
Gadkari also congratulated all the workers who contributed to achieving this massive feat as he said this will be recorded in the Limca Book of Records. “500 employees of the contractor company have worked hard for this. I congratulate the project directors, officers, contractor company representatives and project officials of the National Highways Authority, including those employees,” the minister tweet, roughly translated from Hindi, read.
