Demand For Expediting Approval of Proposals to Develop Road Network Along Inter State Borders of Andhra Pradesh
Sir, to develop a corridor of road
network, in the Inter-State Borders of Andhra Pradesh, with Odisha, Chhattisgarh
and Maharashtra under the Special Development Package (SDP), the Government of
Andhra Pradesh had submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Road Transport and
Highways on 16.4.2011 for 117 road packages and 26 bridge packages costing
Rs.2,457.43 crores. These projects would provide connectivity to the remote
areas within 30 km corridor along the Inter-State Borders of Andhra Pradesh, namely,
with Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. More than two years have elapsed so
far and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has not taken any action in
the matter. I, therefore, urge upon the Government to expedite the approval of
the above proposals and take further necessary action so that the work may
start on the projects.
