In a critical meeting, Punjab Minister Sanjeev Arora engaged with NHAI Chairman Santosh Kumar Yadav to expedite state infrastructure developments.
Among the pressing issues was the development of access near Adampur Airport, which falls under MoRTH's purview and requires immediate attention by NHAI for improved connectivity.
The Ludhiana-Ropar highway, hindered by delays, is set for retendering to ensure timely progress, alongside addressing bureaucratic hurdles in NHLML project tenders.
Arora emphasized resolving fund release obstacles affecting the Delhi-Katra highway, while stressing the need for efficient road links to the soon-operational Halwara Airport.
Commitment from NHAI to prioritize these initiatives aims to streamline congestion and improve road safety throughout Punjab.
