    It is not the release of the money merely,but utilization of same to the maximum extent in laying a damage proof road, that is needed. Otherwise, the amount spent with poor quality will get washed with again during rains paving way for agitations and another sanction.

    Better to close the road !!! use bullock carts to travel this stretch of 40 kms, then the road will not be damaged, money need not be spent, contractors will not be making money, trees, birds, animals will be happy, what a pleasant environment !!!!!!, losers will be the politicians

    This drama will continue. RTA and NH and all the con men will continue to pocket the money and nothing will be done to utilize the money. Because of this so many lives have been lost. Sometimes your own collegues/friends/families. You do not even follow the rules for Vehicles!overloading, parking, not properly tied or loaded bundles! No lighting! when you cannot take care of the minimal necessities, then what is the deal you can offer your people?

    Earlier too crores of rupees were allocated. Nothing was done.Maximum accidents happened on this particular roads! Are we not shameless? Imagine that outside our country people talk about our officers as part of their joke!RTA, POLICE PLEASE WAKE UP!

    I am sure yeddy is not happy with 115 crore''s, which, half of it will be pocketed by the corrupt people. Union minister has to keep a strict vigil on these people or else most of the money will be lost in transit.
