The Union Minister was also presented with a proposal of Haryana Forest Development Corporation to make National Highway No, 10 a green corridor. Discussions were also held in the meeting regarding construction of a link bypass to connect National Highway No. 8 with MG Road of Gurgaon and construct bridges at Hero Honda Chowk and other places.
Assuring speedy implementation of all schemes related to Haryana, Gadkari said the ministry would extend full support for such schemes. The chief Minister said with the support of the Union Minister, the process of construction of 12 new National Highways in the state was underway at a cost of Rs 30,000 crore.
The Chief Minister raised the demand for construction of new bridges on Hansi bypass in Hisar-Rohtak section of National Highway No.10 and Ding Mor on Hisar-Dabwali section. He also urged the Union Minister to grant the status of National Highway to Hisar-Jind via Narnaund road. The construction of this road would reduce the distance between these two cities by almost 20kms.
Gadkari said the progress of all schemes related to Haryana would be reviewed every three months.
