So that this project can be completed soon on priority basis. Apart from this, people should not be burdened by toll. For this, a demand has been made to Minister Nitin Gadkari.
Was in constant touch with the central government since 2022
Bains said that he was working on this project since April 2022. Many people have lost their lives on this road. Many accidents happened due to it being a single road. He continuously contacted the central government regarding the road.
After a year, the central government accepted that the road is necessary. Also, a consultant will be hired and a survey will be conducted for this. After this, a surveyor was appointed. They were constantly in touch with the surveyor. Now, this project has been approved.
