Union minister Nitin Gadkari<\/strong> has announced that every national highway project in India will soon feature QR codes<\/strong> displaying complete project details \u2014 from contractors and consultants to funding and deadlines. Citizens can scan these codes via smartphones to track progress and access helpline numbers for quick redressal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Every<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gadkari said the move aims to decentralise accountability<\/strong>. \u201cWhy should I alone get blamed? The QR code will show who the contractor, consultant, and officials are,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Access and Digital Monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This initiative follows public calls for greater clarity on road construction quality and spending \u2014 notably after Bengaluru entrepreneur Anuradha Tiwari\u2019s viral post<\/strong> questioning why roads lack maker information unlike consumer goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)<\/strong> and project developers have also been instructed to upload construction progress videos on YouTube<\/strong>, using drone footage already available. Citizens\u2019 comments and independent videos on social media will help officials gain ground-level insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People-Centric Infrastructure Push<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gadkari reiterated his focus on making infrastructure development \u201cpeople-centric, sustainable, and safe.\u201d<\/strong> The ministry is currently upgrading 25,000 km of highways<\/strong> under a \u20b92 lakh crore plan, improving connectivity to ports and religious circuits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also projected that toll revenues could rise from \u20b955,000 crore to \u20b91.4 lakh crore<\/strong> within two years, citing improved road quality and logistics efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasising environmental sustainability, he highlighted the transplantation of 8,500 trees along the Dwarka Expressway<\/strong>, underscoring that \u201cevery rupee invested in infrastructure generates three rupees of economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
