NHAI’s Maha water project my ‘best’ work: Gadkari

Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Sunday hailed the pilot project under which the NHAI created water conservation facilities in several villages in drought- prone Buldhana district of Maharashtra while carrying out road works.

The Minister of Road Transport and Highways said although he was credited for carrying out several good road projects, including the Bandra Worli Sealink in Mumbai, the Buldhana water project was the “best” work of his life.

Gadkari on Sunday released a book on ‘Model convergence of national highway improvement/construction with water conservation and ground water recharge’ along the highways.

Buldhana, which receives scanty rainfall, was selected for the project – ‘Water conservation and ground water recharge’.
