Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday pulled up the NHAI officials here for not visiting project sites, which is responsible for the delay and poor quality of work.
The road transport and highways minister said that on Monday, he held a meeting with NHAI and National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL) officials on issues related to road projects in Assam.
“Even Assam Chief Minister complained why NHAI officials did not contact him about problems being faced by them…(NHAI and NHIDCL) Officials sitting in Delhi, have not visited the project site in the last two years,” Gadkari, who is known for his frank views, said while addressing an event here.
