Infrastructure development top priority; Rs 4Lakh crore stuck projects rolled: PM Narendra Modi.

The government has rolled out stuck projects worth Rs. 4 lakh crore in the past six months, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said recently.

Modi, who was in Kundli on Delhi-Haryana border to lay the foundation stone of three roads projects costing over Rs. 13,800 crore that will decongest traffic in Delhi and National Capital Region, said infrastructure was the top priority of his government and building roads was the fastest means to bring economic growth.

Showering praise on road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari for the work done since the government assumed charge in May 2014, Modi said that no one has done as much for the roads and highways sector in the past 60 years as Gadkari has done.

Modi said that road projects like Bharatmala and Setu Bharatam will accelerate the pace of development in the country.
