Rs. 25,000 crore would be spent for developing roads in Arunachal Pradesh, Gadkari said after laying the foundation stones of Akajan-Likabali and Likabali-Bame roads.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given top priority to the development of the North-East and therefore the Government has decided to build 10,000 km roads at Rs. 1 lakh crore in the region (including Arunachal Pradesh), Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Wednesday.
Rs. 25,000 crore would be spent for developing roads in Arunachal Pradesh, Gadkari said after laying the foundation stones of Akajan-Likabali and Likabali-Bame roads.
“I am aware of your huge expectations from the Centre. If at the desire of former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee I could conceive and facilitate building of PMGSY roads at a cost of Rs. 60,000 crore to link 1,70,000 villages...roads in Arunachal will not be a difficult task,” he said.
“It is your money and every penny should be utilised for your benefit,” Gadkari said.
“Roads hold key to speed and progress and what could not be done in 50 years I commit to achieve it within next five years,” he said.
