Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai meets Union ministers in Delhi to discuss development projects

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who is in New Delhi on a two-day visit, met several Union ministers on Wednesday to discuss various projects related to the state.

Bommai met Union Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and said that the decks have finally been cleared for the long-pending ring road project connecting Dobaspet and Hosur under the Bharatmala programme near Bengaluru. This will help decongest the traffic in the state’s capital city, he said.

After meeting Gadkari, the CM said all concerns related to land acquisition have been resolved and the state government has agreed to give GST exemption on items like steel, cement, sand and aggregates which are used in road construction.
