Gadkari Vows Strict Action Over Mumbai-Goa Highway Delays, Plans Inspection
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari expressed shame over delays in widening the Mumbai-Goa Highway, which was launched in 2011 and remains incomplete despite substantial work. He announced plans to personally inspect the highway in October and vowed to take strict action against contractors and officials responsible for delays and poor execution, aiming to set a record for blacklisting and suspensions. Gadkari also urged development of roadside amenities reflecting Goan culture. The project, intended to reduce travel time, has faced criticism for stalled work and quality concerns.
