    70-80% of work will be completed by March 2019: Gadkari

  • "The government's flagship project has progressed well and nearly 70-80% of the work will be completed by March 2019," Gadkari said. He said apart from cleaning the Ganga river, work is also undertaken to clean the tributaries and nallas that flow into the main river.

    All projects are done by private players: Gadkari

  • "All these projects are done by private players and I haven't given any responsibility to any of the corporations. I cannot depend on the government for taking ahead these projects and so we've given the responsibility to the private sector to monitor them using the best IT methods," Gadkari said.

    He was speaking at an event in Mumbai organized by the Indian Merchants' Chamber.
