1,400km of arterial roads to be repaved, says Verma

NEW DELHI:

"We have already made provisions in the budget this year of over ₹3,000 crore to revamp over 400 km of roads this year. However, we plan to stretch it by another 200 km and ensure that around 600 km are covered this year, while the rest will be taken up next year. The plan is to revamp and make all the major roads of Delhi new within two years," Verma said at a press conference.

The minister added that once a stretch of road is redeveloped, the contractor in question will be responsible for its maintenance for a period of five years, and that any potholes that develop will have to be fixed free of cost for at least the first two-and-a-half years.
