The government has shifted its focus from the smart roads initiative to formulating a new proposal that utilizes state funds for the enhancement of all major city roads.
“We will now address all critical roads and continue the progress from MiTP Phase 1”, the Chief Minister added.
This decision was made after a meeting between the Deputy Chief Minister and the Public Works Department (Roads), during which they acknowledged the difficulties associated with the initial project.
Additionally, the smart road initiative, encompassing 17 unfinished road projects throughout the state, had achieved merely 3-4% completion prior to its suspension. Among these unfinished projects was a roadway located in the Lachaumiere region.
