Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said his government is working towards removing bottlenecks and simplifying procedures to speed up implementation of infrastructure projects.

Addressing a public meeting after laying the foundation stone for three highway projects in this Haryana town, he referred to PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation) interactions with various ministries and states that he chairs every month to resolve issues in pending projects.

Noting infrastructure projects such as roads and power were the first pre-requisite of development and new highways will give pace to Haryana's growth, he also pitched his vision of providing 24x7 power supply to all parts of the country by 2022.

Union ministers Nitin Gadkari and Birender Singh were also present on the occasion.
