Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has stated that to ensure smooth movement of people and better connectivity in rural areas, action should be taken with a set timeline to connect 100% of the settlements in the state with roads. A scientific survey of the need for roads in all districts should be carried out and an action plan should be developed. The opinions of MLAs and Panchayat representatives should also be taken regarding the need for roads. The state government is committed to connecting all settlements with roads in the next three years. These instructions were given by Chief Minister Dr. Yadav during a review of the works under the Prime Minister’s Gramin Sadak Yojana at a meeting of the Madhya Pradesh Rural Road Development Authority held at Samatv Bhavan at the Chief Minister’s residence. The meeting was attended by Panchayat and Rural Development and Labor Minister Shri Prahlad Patel, Chief Secretary Shri Anurag Jain, Additional Chief Secretary Dr. Rajesh Rajora, and senior officials.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav emphasized the need to remain alert and take prompt action for the repair and upgrading of roads damaged due to heavy rainfall, floods, and other causes. He directed that road maintenance and regular inspection should be made more effective by using mobile apps, geo-tagging, and AI technology. The survey of current traffic on roads and the work of upgrading and widening lanes should be prioritized.
