Chief Minister Raman Singh on Monday said that work on 170 new roads in Chhattisgarh is currently underway at a project outlay of Rs 25,000 crore.

He was addressing a press conference here after chairing a Collectors’ conference in the Mantralaya.
Singh said that timelines had been set for completion of all the 170 roads.
The Chief Minister said that he had personally reviewed the construction status of 100 roads at the meeting while the Chief Secretary had been reviewing the road construction status of all works constantly.
“Our aim is also to provide internet connectivity in 10,000 panchayat-level Lok Seva Kendras as soon as possible. These Lok Seva Kendras will also have a ‘Mini Bank”, Singh said.
