The consistent
endeavour of the Prime Minister to improve connectivity all across the country
has led to multiple national highway development initiatives being taken up in
the state of Punjab. It has resulted in more than doubling the total length of
National highways in the state from about 1700 kilometre in 2014 to more than 4100
kilometres in 2021. In continuation of such efforts the foundation stone of two
major road corridors will be laid in Punjab. This will also be a step towards
fulfilling the Prime Minister’s vision to enhance accessibility to major
religious centres.
