Speaking at the Infrastructure & Capital Works Ministers' Committee meeting, chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka at the State Secretariat, the Minister said that strong road networks from the State capital to district and mandal centres will take industries into villages, creating jobs locally.

'In emergencies, the speed of an ambulance is judged by the quality of roads. That is why the government must not hesitate to spend on this sector,' he remarked.

He also stressed that timely payments to contractors are essential to remove uncertainty in the system and build confidence among stakeholders, while pointing out that, financial mismanagement by the previous government had created hurdles which the present administration is determined to overcome with a people-first approach.
