The roads are very bad in the state of Andhra Pradesh. This has been highlighted by the Jana Sena and the TDP several times.
TDP leaders Manohar and Pawan Kalyan did sramadan for closing the potholes. Now the Jagan government has decided to repair the roads.
It is reported that Jagan has suggested that R and B take up the matter and do the repairs at the earliest. There was a comparison with the roads in Telangana. Telangana roads are better when compared to AP.
Meanwhile, roads and buildings minister M. Sankaranarayana had asked the officials to take photographs of the roads before taking up the works and after the works are completed just like in it was done for Nadu-Nedu, to ensure that quality was maintained and also to showcase to the people the difference in the roads before and after works are done.
Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari laid the foundation for as many as 51 projects in the state to be taken up at a cost of Rs 21,000 crore. Gadkari also promised to spend Rs 3 lakh crore on roads and highways in the state by 2024.
Now, it has to be seen how fast the roads would be laid to finish the works by June and in this hurry if the contractors would not compromise on the quality.
