New Delhi, Sept 28: Union minister Nitin Gadkari said that the Government is working on a policy to ensure that there are no potholes on national highways by year-end and construction of roads on Built-Operate-Transfer mode is being preferred as such projects are maintained in a better manner.
The roads which are constructed under the EPC mode require maintenance quite early whereas under the BOT mode, roads are better constructed as the contractor knows that he will have to bear the cost of maintenance for the next 15-20 years.
Minister added that is why we have decided for construction of roads under the BOT mode in a big way.
