Set benchmark in quality standards of roads: CM Chandrababu Naidu

By our Special Correspondent

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has directed officials to ensure that roads in the State are constructed and maintained with the high quality standards.

He emphasised the need to fast-track all ongoing road projects, and ensure that they are completed within specified deadlines. Naidu made it clear that every road project should have a set deadline, and be completed on time, especially before the onset of the monsoon.

Andhra Pradesh’s 8,744 km of State and National Highways should set a benchmark at the national level in terms of quality standards and maintenance, he said. Additionally, he instructed officials to develop 2,683 km of completely damaged roads in the State.
