Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the government has given a new momentum to the construction of roads in rural areas now built at the pace of 100 km per day. AS per reports, the government's flagship rural connectivity programme was introduced by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee but it was implemented later at a slow speed. Commenting on the issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that his government had brought a new momentum to the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana to help accomplish the dream of villagers who want good roads. "Earlier village roads were constructed at the rate of 70-75 km per day. Now we construct 100 km in a day," he added.
