Indecisive officials dealing with highway projects to face action: Gadkari

The Minister said the NHAI has resumed 95 per cent of work on war-footing now with permission to start construction activities while adhering to guidelines.

Union minister Nitin Gadkari has said the government may punish officials blamed for delaying highway works by not deciding on works quickly.

"Enough of warning has been given to officials sitting on files and not taking decisions. A large number of our highway projects are suffering due to this. It is time that such officials who despite being promoted and empowered to take decisions be demoted or removed and give chance to those who want to perform," Gadkari told PTI in an interview.
