Jaipur, Rajasthan Chief Minister Smt.
Vasundhara Raje has suggested for allocation of adequate funds for maintenance
of the national highways(NH) passing through the state.
Smt. Raje met the Union
Minister for Road Transport & National Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari in this
regard on Friday. She underlined that condition of the NH roads was not good
and it was causing inconvenience in smooth passage of vehicular traffic on
these roads. She informed that during year 2014-15 against the
demand of Rs. 75 crore, only Rs. 14.87 crore were actually given for
maintenance. Therefore, she asked for allocation of more funds under this head
during the year 2015-16.
The CM raised the issue
of those roads which were not being maintained by the National Highways
Authority of India (NHAI) and the state government was providing funds for
maintenance from its own resources. She demanded for reimbursement of the
expenditure incurred to the state under this head.
Smt. Raje said that the
Uniara-Nainwa-Gulabpura-Shahpura (NH 148D), Ooncha-Nangla-Dhaulpur (NH 132),
Manoharpur-Dausa-Lalsot (NH 11A and Extension) etc. are among the sections on
which the state government carried out maintenance works from its resources.
The CM further requested
the Union Minister for early approval of a four-lane road construction project
worth Rs. 621.43 crore at Kota-Darra section. She also thanked the union
government for approval of new works worth Rs. 1558.07 crore for the national
highways in Rajasthan during the year 2014-15.
