Before Mission 2024, a large network of roads is going to be laid in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday laid the foundation stone of 10 National Highway projects worth about Rs 8,000 crore in Uttar Pradesh. According to an official statement, Gadkari laid the foundation stone for five National Highway projects worth Rs 2,200 crore in Pratapgarh region and Rs 6,215 crore in Deoria district.
