New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday will launch ‘PM GatiShakti’ — the national master plan for multi-modal connectivity —which will institutionalise holistic planning of major infrastructure projects, hitherto planned and designed in silos, Union commerce and industry ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
Infrastructure creation in India suffered for decades from multiple issues, including lack of coordination between different departments, the statement said, citing the example of current practice of road construction, which is often dug up by other agencies to lay underground cables and gas pipelines.
“In order to address this issue, save time and cost and shield the common man from inconveniences, the government has put in place a coordinated efforts of 16 ministries and departments under the PM GatiShakti,”
