Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu has laid the foundation for upgrading a road connecting the state capital of Meghalaya, Shillong with Dawki town, along the Indo-Bangladesh border involving ₹1,600 crore investment. The project on National Highway-40 is expected to reduce congestion on the feeder road adjoining the city and shorten travel time between Shillong and Dawki. The road, once upgraded, will ease transportation of goods, step up service delivery and contribute to the overall development of the region. The Vice President called for fast-tracking of all developmental activities in the northeastern states with proper utilization of the funds provided by the Centre and in case the sanctioned projects are implemented without delay, northeastern states have the potential to become the growth engines of the country.
