Need To Construct An Expressway Between Vadodara And Mumbai. on 27 July, 2006
an> Title : Need to construct an expressway between Vadodara and Mumbai.
SHRI KASHIRAM RANA (SURAT): Sir, I would like to draw the kind attention of the Government that during the Budget speech for the financial year 2006-07, the hon. Finance Minister had declared that the expressway between Vadodara and Mumbai will be taken up on DBFO system. There is tremendous traffic density on Amhedabad-Mumbai Section and the existing National Highway is already overcrowded beyond its capacity. It is very important that the survey work and land acquisition be started at the earliest for the proposed Expressway. Government of Gujarat has frozen the 300 m width of land along the proposed alignment of the Expressway. It is required to start the land acquisition procedure at the earliest.
I would like to urge upon the Government through Parliament to start the construction work under time bound limit.
MR. DEPUTY-SPEAKER: Shri Jual Oram -- Not present.
