Now soon you will get the facility of petrol pump along with food at the Dhabas on the National Highway. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has informed the officials of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways of India in this matter along with his department. On Monday, Gadkari said he has asked officials of his ministry to work on a proposal to allow dhaba owners to build petrol pumps and toilets on the national highway.
Addressing a program, Gadkari also said that the government officials should take their decisions at the earliest. Many a times due to delay in the decision making process, many projects are getting delayed. Gadkari told that he was also messaged by someone that when he was traveling, he did not find many toilets between 200 and 300 km between the road.
Gadkari said that many people are opening dhabas there by encroaching on road lands. In such a situation, if the National Highway Authority of India gives NOC for the petrol pump, then this illegal encroachment can also be stopped. Apart from this, the amount of land editing has been increased by the government. Now no citizen is shying away from giving land to the government. Any citizen is now ready to give his land for development work.
