- State Minister Krishna Gaur meets Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to accelerate the Project
Chronicle Reporter, Bhopal
In a major development aimed at alleviating traffic congestion on Bhopal’s Narmadapuram Road, an elevated corridor connecting Misrod BRTS Corridor to CRRI MPRI and Ratnagiri Tiraha is set to be constructed soon. The long-awaited project has received renewed attention after Minister of State for Backward Classes and Minority Welfare (Independent Charge), Mrs. Krishna Gaur, met Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, in New Delhi on January 22.
During the meeting, State Minister Krishna Gaur highlighted the delays in the project and emphasized the urgent need for its completion. “The construction work has not progressed as expected, and the delay is causing serious transportation issues and road safety concerns in the area,” she stated. Minister Gaur requested Union Minister Gadkari to expedite the project, citing the growing number of road accidents and the inconvenience faced by commuters due to the lack of adequate infrastructure.
Union Minister takes swift action
Responding to the concerns raised, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari instructed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and other departmental officials to take immediate action. He assured that the construction of the elevated corridor would commence without further delays. The project aims to streamline traffic flow, reduce congestion, and minimize road accidents along this critical stretch.
A Boost for Bhopal’s Infrastructure
In addition to the elevated corridor, Mrs. Krishna Gaur expressed her gratitude to Union Minister Gadkari for approving another significant project—the construction of a 16.5 km Ayodhya Nagar bypass road connecting Ratnagiri Tiraha to Scindia Tiraha, extending to the airport. These infrastructure developments are expected to transform the Govindpura Assembly Constituency by enhancing connectivity and providing a seamless commuting experience.
The elevated corridor and bypass road will not only improve traffic management but also enhance safety by reducing accident-prone areas. “This initiative is a milestone for Bhopal’s road infrastructure and will greatly benefit the city’s residents,” stated Mrs. Gaur.
With the Union Minister’s directives and renewed focus, the much-needed infrastructure improvements are now closer to becoming a reality, promising a safer and more efficient transportation network for Bhopal.
