Hurdles for the declaration of the southern part of the Regional Ring Road spanning 182 km (Choutuppal-Amangal-Shadnagar-Sangareddy) as national highway have been cleared.
Union Road Transport & Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has directed the National Highways Authority of India to seek proposals for declaration of the southern stretch of the RRR as national highway. Mr. Gadkari gave the directions responding to the request made by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy who called on the former in New Delhi on Tuesday. The Union government had already declared the northern part of the RRR as national highway.
The Chief Minister urged the Union Minister to take steps for upgradation of several important State highways as national highways and sought permission for expansion of some of the national highways. He submitted a list of State highways that needed expansion as national highways to Mr. Gadkari and explained to him about the need to declare them as national highways.
