The 20th July visit of Sh ML
Khattar and Nitin Gadkari announced a wide array of sops for Sirsa and surrounding
areas.
Union Minister for Road Transport and
Highways Mr. Nitin Gadkari today announced that road projects worth Rs 25,000
crore would be executed in Haryana by the end of December this year. He also
announced to start rope-way transport system between Dhaula Kuan to Mansesar
via Gurgaon in coming four months. Estimated per km cost of this project would
be only Rs 50 crore as compared to Rs350 crore per kilometer of Metro. Based on
new technology, it would help in decongestion of traffic and facilitate the
people of Haryana and Delhi.
The program was held at CDLU Campus Sirsa.
Mr. Gadkari announced this after
laying the foundation stone of four laning of Hisar-Dabwali road project
costing over Rs 1500 crore in the presence of Chief Minister Mr. Manohar Lal
at Sirsa today. He said that road projects worth Rs.16,000 crore had already
been started in the state.
The Union Minister also announced 150 km
four lane National Highway project from Hisar to Bathinda via Adampur,
Fatehabad, Ratia, Mansa. It would be made of cement concrete. He said that
Express highway from Delhi to Katra via Ludhiana and Amritsar would also be
constructed.
Describing industries, agriculture and
service sector as three important components for development of nation, he said
that service sector contributes 62-64 per cent in GDP whereas industry and
agriculture contributes 22-24 per cent and 14-16 per cent respectively. He said
that former Prime Ministers of Congress party had given slogan ‘Garibi Hatao’
but unfortunately this was not achieved. Even after the 68 years of
independence, why we are seeking any scheme of drinking, power, irrigation
etc., he questioned and added that we are a rich nation with poor population.
Wrong economic policies, bad and corrupt governance and visionless leadership
are responsible for this mess.
He said that credit for connecting 1.7
lakh villages out of total 6.5 lakh in the country goes to our former Prime
Minister Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He said that Minister of Road Transport and
Highways would strengthen the infrastructure under the able guidance of Prime Minister
Mr Narendra Modi. His Ministry would give employment of 50 lakh youth in five
years. The department under his portfolio had started development works to the
tune of Rs one lakh crore and this pace would be continue in future. In coming
five years, we will execute projects worth Rs five lakh crore, he added.
Referring to the menace of corruption
prevailing in RTO offices, he urged the Chief Minister to look into this and
keep a tap on the same. He also offered the Chief Minister such kind of 200
driving schools where computer based test would be conducted for getting
driving licenses. He said that there would be no dearth of funds for
development work in Haryana. Contract had been made with Cement factories to
get rid of heavy cost of cement. Under this contract, per bag cement would cost
between Rs 120 and 140. He also offered the State Government to take benefit
from Union Government for undertaking their development projects. 6
He also offered the Chief Minister to
explore possibilities for executing Water port or river port as this mode of
transport is cheaper than road and railways.
The Central Government is in the process to draft a scheme under which
industries would be set on in the villages having populations more than 10,000.
He also urged the gathering to adopt
alternate system of agriculture other than traditional. India import crude oil
worth Rs 8 lakh crore which badly impacted our economy. We would have to adopt
alternate mode like bio-diesel, ethanol and bio-electric. Farmers could also
generate such kind of alternate mode by using techno support so that rural
India could be strengthened.
|Speaking on this occasion Chief Minister
Mr. Manohar Lal thanked the Union Minister for giving three important projects
worth Rs 3500 crore in a single day. He said the previous government during
their 10 year rule had announced only one National Highway but the present

in Ambala and Mohali-Chandigarh-Panchkula. He also described Mr Gadkari as
Flyover man keeping in view the fast pace of road network in the country.
