Construction of more than 24,000 km of road length under the first phase of the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), which was launched in 2000 by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government under Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, is pending, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development said in a report that was tabled in Parliament on July 27.
The report has recorded the progress up to October 25, 2022. Under the second phase of the programme that began in 2013, construction of 1,562 km of road length was still incomplete, it said.
