Where is the expressway of how many km in seven states, when will it be ready

Survey done by camel-bullock cart, cut the mountain and found a way

Ravi Gupta, project director of NHAI’s MP section, told that cameras have been installed at every kilometer in 244 km. Vehicle deduction system has been installed for challan. Jawara has a control system. All the tolls here will be connected. Whatever deduction will be done from the camera, the ambulance, crane, petrol vehicle will reach that place in response time through the control system.

Gupta told that where the expressway has been built, earlier there were fields, forests and mountains. When we used to go for survey in these areas, we had to go on camels and bullock carts, because cars could not go at many places. The difficult task of acquiring land from the farmers was to be done. Here Rs 4.50 lakh per bigha has been given. As soon as the work on the expressway started in January 2020, there was a lockdown due to Covid. Despite this, the work on the expressway did not stop.
