|AUGUST 22, 2025 ISSUE
The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has released detailed figures on road development under the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund (CRIF) over the past five years, highlighting both the financial support extended to Jammu and Kashmir and the systemic limitations faced under the scheme.
Responding to a query raised by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said the Ministry has adopted a structured mechanism to identify projects under CRIF, in alignment with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan. He explained that projects are sanctioned based on proposals submitted by States and Union Territories, which are then prioritised by the Ministry.
