Expressing surprise at Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari’s observation that his Ministry was facing “major problems in Tamil Nadu,” Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Monday assured him that the State government will extend its full cooperation to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to expedite all projects. He also flagged several issues for necessary action.
Referring to Mr. Gadkari’s remarks during The Hindu BusinessLine event, ‘Countdown to Budget 2022’, he said, “Many of the current issues causing project delays are legacy issues of the past decade, and my teams of officers under the Chief Secretary are putting in their best efforts to sort them out at the earliest.”
