Parliamentary panel asks Highways Ministry to complete 888 delayed projects before announcing new ones
Unhappy over delayed highway projects which amount to Rs 3.15 lakh crore, a parliamentary panel has asked Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to prioritise their completion instead of announcing new projects.
The delayed 888 projects pertain to construction of 27,665 km of national highways.
The Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture, in its latest report tabled in Parliament also asked the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to prioritise its delayed road projects.
