No Hyperlink Between Uttarakhand Floods, Freeway Development: Centre
The Char Dham mission is being applied at a value of Rs 12,000 crore (Record)
New Delhi:
Development and widening of roads for the Char Dham mission didn’t give a contribution to the Uttarakhand floods crisis, parliament used to be knowledgeable on Monday.
The strategic 900-km Char Dham freeway mission objectives to supply all-weather connectivity to 4 holy cities — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — in Uttarakhand.
“As in line with stories won from Executive of Uttarakhand, Geological Survey of India (GSI) and Defence Geo-informatics Analysis Status quo (DGRE), building and widening of roads for the Char Dham mission didn’t give a contribution to the Uttarakhand floods crisis,” Highway Delivery and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari instructed the Rajya Sabha in a written answer.
As in line with clinical proof to be had with the state executive, this used to be purely a herbal tournament and not using a indication of human footprint immediately because of its motive, he added.
The Char Dham mission is being applied at a value of Rs 12,000 crore.
