The government of Goa has sought better connectivity with Karnataka, its neighbour.
This proposal was announced at a meeting of Public Works Ministers of various States, chaired by Union Minister for Road Transport Nitin Gadkari in Panaji on Sunday.
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant demanded that the Union government support the construction of a highway between Goa and Belagavi. The new road, he said, will run parallel to the existing highway between Sanquelim and Belagavi.
