Stalin writes to Gadkari, assures full cooperation to NHAI on highway projects

Responding to Union Road Transport & Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari’s statement on the NHAI facing “major problems” in the state, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday wrote to him expressing surprise over his comments despite him being aware of the government’s steps to support road projects and help resolve many long pending issues.

At the same breadth, Stalin assured Gadkari his government’s “full cooperation” to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to expedite all the pending highway projects and works in Tamil Nadu. In a detailed letter to Gadkari, Stalin listed the steps taken by his government after assuming office in May last year to clear the bottlenecks faced by NHAI in the state.
