@nitin_gadkari @narendramodi @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia @PIB_India This decision is very good, the government must be strict, otherwise quality work will not be done in India, it may be a little late but it should be done at the latest.

@nitin_gadkari @narendramodi @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia @PIB_India Wish we could fine NHAI itself. It is one of the most incompetent body in country….

@nitin_gadkari @narendramodi @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia @PIB_India @WagholikrAkshay See. It was shoddy work only hence suspended contractors, engineers. Patch was indeed laid but with substandard material.

@nitin_gadkari @narendramodi @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia @PIB_India why doesn't govt engineer checks the roads quality? I think its clear quality checks system and people handling this work seems ineffective, unqualified and incompetent. they must be removed.

@nitin_gadkari @narendramodi @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia @PIB_India Strict rules should be made. Shoot at sight orders should be made whenever this type of fraud happens. Shoot all the people who are involved in this scam.

NHAI has established a Gaushala named “Gokuldham,” near Tunnel No. 4 at Malyawar on the Kiratpur–Manali corridor in #HimachalPradesh. Under this initiative, stray cattle found roaming along the four-lane National Highway will be rescued and sheltered at the facility, helping reduce road accidents involving animals. The Gaushala can accommodate around 100 cattle at a time, with proper arrangements for their food and care. A veterinary doctor has also been provided to ensure timely treatment of cattle injured in road accidents. This initiative reflects NHAI’s commitment to road safety, animal welfare, and creating safer National Highways for all. PMO India MORTHINDIA PIBIndiaMoRTH #NHAI #PragatiKaHighway #BuildingANation

This delightful clip, shared with me by Nagdev Pawar sir, perfectly captures the ongoing nightmare that is the Virar–Manor stretch of NH-48 as of June 2025. Once a smooth, asphalt-paved highway, it was tragically "upgraded" by NHAI to concrete. The result? A national highway that transforms into India's longest parking lot the moment a raindrop hits the ground. This particular traffic jam stretches roughly 22 kms from Manor to Sakawar village. And how can anyine miss that glorious "newly" laid concrete surface? Remember, the NHAI did this concretization work because cement roads supposedly last longer life and warrant lower maintenance. It's been not even a year since this surface was laid. Only in India can a brand-new road be objectively worse than the old one it replaced. This is a true feat of engineering incompetence, proudly brought to you by the NHAI and its contractor cartel. Shame on you NHAI Shame on you Nitin Gadkari

#Cabinet approves the construction of 117.7 km Kanpur–Kabrai Access-Controlled Greenfield Highway, a four-lane access-controlled corridor with structures designed for future six-laning, forming a key segment of the Bhopal–Kanpur Economic Corridor under the National Highways (O) Programme. With an estimated total capital cost of Rs. 7145.14 crore, the project will be implemented by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on BOT (Toll) mode, together with the operation and maintenance of the existing Kanpur-Kabrai section of NH-34. The project will provide seamless, high-speed connectivity between Kanpur and Kabrai, while strengthening onward connectivity to Sagar, Bhopal and other parts of Madhya Pradesh, thereby creating a modern access controlled economic corridor linking the industrial and commercial centres of Uttar Pradesh with mineral-rich, manufacturing and agricultural regions of Madhya Pradesh thereby improving. #CabinetDecisions

Highway Hijacked by Goons? Family with Children Attacked on Mysuru Expressway Is the Mysuru Expressway safe anymore? The occupants of car KA 13 N 4610 allegedly attacked an entire family including a husband, wife, an elderly woman, and children in the middle of the busy Maddur stretch of the expressway at night.Beating up a family in the centre of a national highway is nothing short of highway hooliganism. If such brazen violence can happen on one of Karnataka's busiest roads, what safety can ordinary commuters expect? The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the police must act immediately, identify the accused, and ensure strict legal action.

Tomorrow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate two major National Highway projects worth a combined cost of nearly Rs.11,000 crore. The projects — the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) — have been developed under the Government’s comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, with the objective of greatly improving connectivity, cutting travel time, and reducing traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas. The 10.1 km long Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs. 5,360 crore. The section will also provide Multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, DMRC Blue line and Orange line, upcoming Bijwasan railway station and Dwarka cluster Bus Depot. The Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat are at a cost of Rs. around 5,580 Crores. It will ease traffic on Delhi’s Inner and Outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. #Delhi #Highway #Expressway Narendra Modi PMO India MORTHINDIA Ministry of Information and Broadcasting PIB India

Our Hon. CM M.K.Stalin has already given a befitting reply to the blatant lie spoken by Hon. PM Narendra Modi yesterday that DMK stalled the Maduravoyal elevated corridor project. I as Additional Solicitor General of India argued for the National Highways Authority of India on behalf of the Union Government in this dispute, so let me state some facts for the benefit of PM Modi. ➡️Chennai Port–Maduravoyal Elevated Corridor was conceived, sanctioned, and launched during the DMK government in Tamil Nadu in coordination with the UPA Government at the union. ➡️June 2007 - project sanction ➡️March 7, 2008 - Government Order was issued ➡️January 2009 - Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh & Dr. Kalaignar as CM laid the foundation stone. ➡️Work commenced in 2010. Environmental clearance was obtained. ➡️By 2012, nearly 30% of the project had already been completed. Pillars had been erected. Construction was underway. 🚫What stopped it? 🍃In April 2012, after change in Government, AIADMK & J Jayalalithaa stalled the project citing lame concerns. A stop-work order was issued. ⚖️I appeared before the Hon’ble Madras High Court on behalf of NHAI and fought the case to quash the stop work order. In February 2014, the High Court quashed the stop-work order! The AIADMK Government filed an appeal and got a stay before the Hon. Supreme Court. They claimed that entire city of Chennai will be inundated because of the project! After 2014, the NDA government at the centre took no proper steps to get the stay vacated! 👉Only after Selvi J. Jayalithaa passed away on 05.12.2016, barely 4 days later, the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu wrote to the NHAI requesting to resume the project. By then the contractor had sued NHAI for delay, project cost had more than doubled. 🌄It was only after Chief Minister Thiru. M.K. Stalin assumed office in 2021 that a comprehensive redesign was undertaken and life was given to the project again. 🌄On 16 May 2022, an MoU was signed between the Tamil Nadu Government, NHAI, Chennai Port Authority, and the Indian Navy. 🛣️The project was redesigned as a 20.6 km double-decker elevated corridor at a revised cost of ₹5,885 crore. ❌Yesterday, the PM stood before the Tamil people and uttered a baseless lie that DMK stopped this project. 💹The PM should ask his alliance partners AIADMK to bear the loss to the Government and public exchequer – ₹ 4805 crore difference between original project cost of ₹ 1800 cr to current cost of ₹ 5885 cr!

My Tinubu has done this to the good people of Arewa. Abuja–Kaduna Highway Nears Completion: 118km Concrete Section Hits 95% with Solar Lighting. The 118km reinforced concrete pavement section of the Abuja–Kaduna road project is now 95% completed and fully equipped with solar street lighting. Built to the same durable standard as the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway, this phase of the project is valued at ₦252 billion, with over 80% of the cost already covered under the leadership of President Tinubu. The section is scheduled for full completion by the first week of May 2026. Work is also progressing steadily on the remaining 164km stretch in Kaduna State, which is being constructed using the same reinforced concrete pavement standard. This phase is valued at ₦502 billion, with 70% of the funding already disbursed. The entire Abuja–Kaduna road project is on track for full completion by December 2026, and will feature comprehensive solar lighting throughout. This milestone reflects a strong commitment to delivering durable road infrastructure and improving connectivity across the region.

This is the present state of Nanyuki–Rumuruti Road, a key regional road in Laikipia County. Joshua Irungu is the county governor, and I’d genuinely like to hear his position on this. Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) when exactly will actual construction begin on the Nanyuki–Rumuruti road? Which sections are under a signed contract with a contractor visibly on the ground? For context, this road has been listed for upgrade since 2022.

Strategic infrastructure is laying the foundation for economic growth in Kogi State. During the Renewed Hope National Media Tour, the delegation inspected the ongoing flyover bridge at Kabba Junction on the Lokoja–Benin Expressway. Beyond easing congestion, the project will improve the movement of people and goods, reduce travel delays, and support trade and economic activities along one of Nigeria’s key interstate highways. The Kogi State Commissioner for Works, Barrister Salami Ozigi Dedaat, explained that the Abuja-Lokoja highway had been in a very deplorable condition due to being abandoned by past administrations but has now been earmarked for completion by President Bola Tinubu. The road has been divided into five different sections, each awarded to a different contractor to speed up its early completion. Dedaat commended President Tinubu for approving the project and others across the state. 📍Renewed Hope National Media Tour | North Central | Kogi State | Kabba Flyover #RenewedHopeAgenda #PresidentTinubu #StateHouseDigital #RenewedHopeInAction

We tracked the Sokoto Badagry Super-Highway from both ends this month, the Lagos axis and Sokoto axis. On the Lagos end, the project is currently within Ogun State, stretching from Diya Gate, OPIC Estate, Agbara to Iyana Idoye, Lusada. Sparse work was observed at Odugbe in Lusada, Ado Odo/Ota LGA. The project terminated at Phase 4, Atan with only one side of the road under construction by Hitech Construction Company Limited. At the Sokoto end in Illela LGA, work was ongoing, bush clearing, sand filling, and site preparation. On the section towards Katami, Silame LGA, Sokoto and in Kebbi State, some portions have been completed with concrete paving and solar lighting installed. Progress is uneven and slow. Now here is what has been committed on paper, FEC has approved contracts worth N2.36tn for the highway since 2024, (N947bn for Kebbi single carriageway in August 2024, N456bn for Sokoto 120km section in October 2024 flagoff and N961bn for Kebbi second carriageway for August 2025). Just 3 days ago, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sent a fresh request to the Senate for a $516.3m loan from Deutsche Bank, the largest single external injection into this project yet. But the Minister of Works, David Nweze Umahi admitted in February 2026 that only N210.31bn, 9.7% of expected 2025 capital releases have actually been paid to contractors. Contractors across Federal Ministry of Works projects are owed N2.2tn for advanced work. Commitments on paper. The total cost of this 1,068km highway alone is projected at over N6.5tn, borrowed money, at a time when Nigeria already spends substantial part of her total revenue servicing existing debt. We urgently call on the Federal Government of Nigeria and National Assembly to; - Properly scrutinize every new loan. - Release funds owed to contractors. - Publish quarterly disbursement reports for this highways. - Scrutinise the $516.3m Deutsche Bank loan terms transparently. Citizens deserve infrastructure and fiscal accountability, not one without the other. #Publicfundsmustforthegoodofthepeople #AskQuestions

When the Federal Government of Nigeria commissioned parts of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway particularly Section One it did not commission the entire stretch. Section One spans about 47.7 kilometres, but only completed portions were opened at the time, while other segments were still in early construction stages due to swampy terrain, soil stabilization, and ongoing sandfilling works. Today, most of Section One has been fully covered, and pavement works have commenced, gradually transforming it into a continuous corridor from Victoria Island to the Lekki Free Trade Zone. This project is steadily taking shape. I’ll be sharing a comprehensive update soon, showing what’s happening across the previously disjointed sections. Stay tuned for the full breakdown. #lagoscalabarcoastalhighway

Totaghati is a critical stretch on the #Rishikesh–#Badrinath National Highway (NH-7) in Uttarakhand. It is considered one of the most challenging and sensitive parts of the #CharDhamYatra route and lies about 40 Kilometers from Rishikesh. B. The expert explaining the Totaghti situation in the video is one of the most well respected geologists of our state. His name is Prof. MPS Bisht and he is in conversation with Shri Ramesh Bhatt of Devbhoomi Dialogue. C. The video is recent, recorded in the aftermath of the August 5, 2025 #Dharali tragedy in #Uttarkashi. Now let's talk about the issue: A significant geological threat is looming over Totaghati,. Known for its narrow roads, sharp curves, and rocky terrain for decades, Totaghati is now emerging as a major challenge for the national highway due to the appearance of large cracks and fractures on the mountain rocks. Experts warn that if these cracks continue to widen, an entire section of the mountain may collapse, potentially cutting off access to Badrinath, #Kedarnath, and large parts of the #Garhwal region from Rishikesh. Senior geologist Prof. MPS Bisht, who has been studying the hills and internal structures of Uttarakhand for the past three/four decades has informed us all that multiple significant fractures have been discovered during the past few months of monitoring the rock formations in Totaghati. According to Prof. Bisht, the rocks in this area are made of limestone, which naturally develop fractures and clints (deep fissures) over time. He has issued a warning that the situation in Totaghati could pose a devastating blow, not just for Char Dham pilgrims, but also for the local economy and military transport. His team has been regularly identifying such critical locations and notifying departments including the National Highways Authority of India. Prof. Bisht explained that these cracks are hundreds of meters deep, cutting through the entire mountain, not just the surface. This indicates that the threat lies deep within the internal structure of the mountain. The formation of these cracks at Totaghati is such that if these cracks widen or break, an entire section of the mountain could slide down. I am sharing this important note/video and tagging PMO India NHAI NDMA India | राष्ट्रीय आपदा प्रबंधन प्राधिकरण 🇮🇳 Office Of Nitin Gadkari ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY Uttarakhand DIPR with the hope that in case this has not come to their knowledge/notice; and if they get to see this now; this grim challenge can be escalated and due/necessary action taken on urgency.$

Dear John, @akwakwaofrealestate Thank you for the update. We are aware that the contractor is still actively working on the site; Mobil - Ikota drainage construction. I understand that work had to slow down over the past few weeks due to increased water levels from recent heavy rainfall. This is a common challenge in coastal and water-based infrastructure projects, and we commend the contractor for prioritizing safety and site management under these conditions. Morso, the portion the contractors are working on now cannot be dammed hence the water backlog in some areas. While we apologize for this inconveniences experienced, we also implore residents to be patient and show understanding with the Government in the provision of the resilient infrastructure. Our team remains in close communication with the contractor to monitor progress and ensure the project stays on track. The commitment to completing this critical drainage infrastructure is unwavering, and we are confident that the contractor will resume full operations as soon as the water levels permit. We urge residents to remain patient as we work through these natural challenges. The completion of this project remains a top priority for the Lagos State Government. Thank you!

#WATCH | Delhi | On future of India-Russia ties, South Asia analyst, Michael Kugelman says, "With all the pressure coming from the West, it is but of a challenging moment with all the pressure coming from the West and the fact that India has for now, reduced imports from Russia... One could look at the security aspects of the relationship where we've seen some delays in getting Russian military equipment to India... Energy and arms have been the key aspect of the relationship between the two... India has been trying to increase its access to Central Asia and Russia can be of help in this... China has its own influence in Central Asia. Pakistan has been trying to increase its own access to Central Asia. So with India working with Russia, its good friend, Russia could perhaps help advance India's goals in that region..."

#WATCH | Washington DC, USA: On the visit of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to India, South Asia analyst, Michael Kugelman, says, "This is clearly a significant moment for US-India relations... It has been quite some time since an official, a senior as Marco Rubio has visited India... It is important that he is coming to India to participate in this Quad meeting... The fact that Rubio is there to participate in the Quad Summit suggests that the Trump administration continues to be committed to the Quad... President Trump himself would be prepared to travel to India at some point later this year, presumably to participate in the leaders summit. In terms of what Marco Rubio said today about India and how it's the cornerstone for the US-India strategic partnership in the Indo-Pacific strategy... There will be some curiosity as to whether there will be follow-through in Rubio's comment as to whether we start to see this administration focus more on the Indo-Pacific strategy and ensure that India continues to be the key part of that strategy..."

MP Dr Amol Kolhe, who was on his way to Moshi for an event, faced a traffic jam on the old Pune Mumbai highway. On Saturday evening, he was heading towards Moshi when he was stranded in a traffic jam at Somatne Phata. So, Dr. Kolhe got down from the vehicle and himself tried to smoothen the traffic jam at Somatne Phata Chowk. Tried to smooth the traffic by giving instructions to the drivers. He has posted this video on X handle. Meanwhile, he has also mentioned in this post the content that takes a jibe at Nitin Gadkari and the government. In this post, Dr. Kolhe said, 'Bypass on Pune-Nashik highway has started due to collective efforts. However, since the elevated corridor between Khed and Nashik Phata and between Wagholi and Shirur on the Pune-Nagar highway has not yet been completed, the people are facing the daily traffic jams. We are constantly raising our voice in the Parliament to make this elevated corridor. Along with that, we are continuously following up with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and National Highway Authority. 9 thousand crores and 11 thousand crores respectively have been sanctioned through their efforts. But the work has not actually started yet. I am constantly drawing the attention of the Central Government to this daily suffering of the people. But these projects are not getting the speed they should from the central government, he has mentioned in the post. #pune #punecity #Punecitynews #news #Punenews #MPamolkolhe #amolkolhe
