Stalin writes to PM on converting state roads as National Highways
The Tamil Nadu government on Thursday sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention in declaring eight state roads as National Highways, saying in-principal approval has been already granted in this respect.
Chief Minister M K Stalin told Modi that in-principle approval has been granted by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) for conversion of 500 km long eight State Highway roads as National Highways.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Stalin said sanction had also been accorded for the preparation of detailed project reports (DPR) and specified the roads in contention.
