Bhopal
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari stated on Saturday that India’s road infrastructure is poised to surpass that of the United States in the near future. Speaking at the inaugural session of a two-day seminar in Bhopal on emerging trends and technologies in road and bridge construction, Gadkari emphasized that efficient highways, waterways, and railways are vital for reducing logistics costs and enhancing the economy.
He criticized consultants responsible for creating detailed project reports (DPR) for road construction, claiming they often prepare these documents without adequate field knowledge. This, he argued, undermines the quality and effectiveness of infrastructure projects.
Gadkari’s remarks reflect the government’s commitment to developing a robust transportation network, which he believes is crucial for India’s economic growth and competitiveness on a global scale.
