Modi govt sanctioned NH projects worth Rs 3 trn for NE in 10 yrs: Gadkari
Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday asserted that the Narendra Modi government has accorded the highest priority to the Northeast and sanctioned national highway projects worth nearly Rs 3 lakh crore for the region in the last 10 years.
He inaugurated and laid the foundation for 26 national highway projects worth over Rs 17,500 crore for Assam.
Speaking at a function on the last of his two-day visit to Guwahati, Gadkari said, “If infrastructure is good, industry, trade and agriculture will flourish.” “There was no dearth of money, only a dearth of people willing to work. That changed under Modi ji. What was not achieved in 65 years was done in the last 10 years,” the Union minister added.
