PMO seeks third-party audits for road, rail projects; highway ministry asked to study GQ-era construction
New Delhi: Amid the increased pace of construction and the laying of new road and rail corridors, the PMO has directed the road transport and railway ministries to introduce independent third-party audits to ensure high-quality work. They have also been asked to eliminate delays in project execution.
TOI has learnt that PM Narendra Modi has also asked the road transport ministry to study Golden Quadrilateral-era construction practices, taking note of why there were very few quality-related complaints during the execution of the country’s first flagship highway development programme.
