Gadkari vows action against contractors over delays
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari pledged decisive action against contractors and officials who cause delays or subpar work on infrastructure projects. After inaugurating a new six-lane elevated road corridor in Goa, Gadkari vowed to lead the country in blacklisting the largest number of contractors within a year.
He plans to travel through the Mumbai-Goa highway corridor in October to personally assess the work and improve traveller convenience. Gadkari urged the Goa government to incorporate local architecture, cuisine, and crafts along the highway to create a unique tourist experience. He also called for the inclusion of biofuel and electric vehicle charging stations along the route.
The minister stressed the importance of scientific landscaping and proper tree selection to reduce pollution, while advocating cleaner air, water, and noise pollution in Goa.
