New Delhi, Oct 29: Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari announced that commuters will soon be able to access detailed information about highway projects, including the names, addresses, and mobile numbers of contractors and officers responsible for each stretch.
Speaking at a conference organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in the national capital, Gadkari said the move aims to ensure greater accountability and transparency in highway development across the country. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will install project information boards with QR codes, allowing travellers to easily obtain project details and emergency contact information.
Gadkari said the government is conducting performance audits of highway projects and will take strict action against those found negligent. “By scanning the code, people will know who is responsible if there is any inconvenience,” he said.
