Tharoor Raises Concerns Over PMGSY-III Delays in Kerala

Shashi Tharoor, a Congress MP, talked in Parliament about how the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana-III (PMGSY-III) is not being completed on time in Kerala.

He said that almost half of the roads that were supposed to be built are still not done.

Out of 284 roads, 221 are still not constructed, and none of the 11 long-span bridges have been built.

The deadline for the project has been extended to March 2026, but Tharoor wants the government to work faster.

The Minister of State for Rural Development, Kamlesh Paswan, said that a lot of rural roads have been built across India, and they are monitored for quality.

The goal of PMGSY-III is to make sure rural areas have good roads so people can easily get to schools, hospitals, and markets.
