This achievement is significant as the first few months of the current financial year were lost due to nation-wide lockdown in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. Construction activities were badly affected during the period.
On 1st March this year, Union Road Transport & Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari had announced achieving the target of constructing 11,000 km of National Highways, one month ahead of schedule.
The Ministry, in the last few years, has taken several initiatives to increase the pace of highway construction in the country.
