This announcement was made by the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Jairam Gadkari today.
Gadkari reviewed over 250 road projects worth about Rs 60,000 crore.
He said these projects were mainly stuck due to reasons such as land acquisition and environment and forest clearance issues.
These stalled projects would be up and running in the next three months. The ministry is trying to get faster clearances, said Gadkari, who also holds additional charge of ministries of shipping, rural development, panchayati raj and drinking water and sanitation.
