Work progress is very slow
Nitin gadkari is not capable for holding the NHAI minister portfolio.I personally feel all ministers above 60 age should get retirement and young India should get young qualified minister.
How over age ministers are ruling the young india
Did they really complete the work, I am a consultant there and there is a lot of work that is pending due to whatsoever reasons the Contractor / NHAI / Ministry can provide. Payments of Consultants are not given for more than 12 months even after providing details and paying our taxes on time.
Completion of Road doesn’t mean that it is ready and traffic can follow, but it should be complete in all respects where in payment as per Schedule is completed.
It is really a shame that the consultants and contractors are not paid on time, in such cases plan the construction activities as per the available funding. Without putting pressure on the Government treasury, allocation of funds done appropriately and progress go hand in hand. NHAI / Ministry are already on top of their game but they are moving ahead not progressing. Please treat this as a healthy suggestion from Citizens. We appreciate your vision but in order to achieve Goals quicker / faster we need the appropriate infrastructure.
Thanks for opportunity to express.
