Agreement with railways for speeding up highway projects

Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has signed Memorandum of Understanding with Ministry of Railways so as to speed up the ROBs/RUBs projects on National Highways.

Ministry of Railways has developed a web-based programme for online submission for getting expeditious approval of various drawings related to ROBs/RUBs within 60 days. It would help time bound approval of General Arrangement Drawings (GAD) by Ministry of Railways, resulting in timely completion of ROBs/RUBs projects.

This information was given by Minister of State for Road Transport & Highways, Shri Pon. Radhakrishnan in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
