Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday welcomed Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, upon his arrival in Srinagar.
In a post shared on social media, the Lieutenant Governor said he had the privilege of receiving the Union Minister in the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir.
Gadkari’s visit assumes significance as several key infrastructure initiatives, including major highway and tunnel projects aimed at strengthening connectivity and boosting development in the Union Territory, are expected to be reviewed during his stay.
The visit comes amid accelerated efforts by the Centre to enhance road infrastructure across Jammu and Kashmir, with a focus on improving mobility, reducing travel time and promoting economic growth in the region.
