Roads bring rural areas in flow of development: PWD Min

Nashik, Nov 4 (UNI) Maharashtra Public Works Minister Chandrakant Patil has said that roads play an important factor in bringing rural areas in the flow of development.
Mr Patil, who flagged off several projects set up by the Social Justice Department at Pimpalgaon in Niphad taluka of this district on Saturday, said "During the last four years, the Centre has allocated around Rs 1.66 billion for the construction of roads in Maharashtra, while the state has disbursed Rs 30,000 crore for road development.
''Around 100,000 km of road works will be built under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), in which the government partners with private companies and the project cost is shared among them,'' said the Minister, adding that 60 per cent of the road will be built by private players, while 40 per cent cost of the project will be released over a period of 10 years.
