Pune: Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday promised a safer, seamless journey for the lakhs of 'warkaris' who undertake the annual pilgrimage to Pandharpur in Maharashtra, saying that nearly 80 per cent of the work on the route has been completed.
The remaining stretches on the "palkhi marg" (where processions are taken out by warkaris) would be completed within the next four to six months, said the road transport and highways minister, who conducted an extensive inspection of the Dive Ghat-Hadapsar section here.
