MP inspects Bharatmala highway works in Yadgir
Mr. Naik reviewed the progress of the highway being constructed from Basantapur to Sirwal village in Shahapur taluk of Yadgir district and sought details from NHAI officials about the progress and quality of the works.
On September 2, Raichur-Yadgir Member of Parliament G. Kumar Naik visited the ongoing construction of the Chennai–Surat National Highway Package-3 works in Yadgir district. The highway, being built from Basantapur to Sirwal village in Shahapur taluk, is part of the National Highways Authority of India's Bharatmala Pariyojana. Naik examined the progress of the project and inquired about its quality from NHAI officials.
He emphasized the need to avoid inconveniencing farmers and villagers during construction and directed authorities to install underpasses and service roads to facilitate convenient access to agricultural land. Naik also ordered the installation of clear signboards and safety measures at critical points, such as village entry and exit points, underpasses, service roads, and curves.
He requested alternatives to be provided for existing roads leading to agricultural fields when they were temporarily closed during construction.
The MP stressed the importance of maintaining proper drainage and water-flow arrangements to prevent waterlogging during the monsoon season. Naik stressed that the project should adhere to prescribed standards and completed as quickly as possible, without compromising on quality. He directed the authorities to address any issues faced by local residents and farmers on the spot and find permanent solutions.
The project director, planning manager, officials from the contractor, local leaders, farmers, and villagers attended the inspection.
