Gadkari Calls for Highway Project Reforms

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari wants to make big changes to how roads are planned and built in India.

He says that the detailed plans, called DPRs, are often too rigid and cause problems.

These problems lead to higher costs, delays, and even accidents.

Gadkari wants the government to focus on the big picture, like where the road should go, and let the companies building the roads figure out the best way to do it.

This way, the roads can be safer, cheaper, and built faster.

He also wants to make sure that the plans are based on good information and that the companies can make changes if they find better ways to build the roads.
