|
Answer» Following are the progress made in transport sector in Rajasthan: Seven national highways cross through Rajasthan. Among them the NH 8 is the most important and the busiest national highway. Its length in Rajasthan is 685 km. This national highway goes from Delhi to Mumbai via Jaipur, Ajmer and Udaipur. The national highway 11 is the most important highway from the point of security. Some major state highways of Rajasthan have been connected to Mega Highway Project. These highways are developed as Mega Highways by changing them to 2-lane and 4-lane roads. At present, construction and maintenance of mega highways and state highways is on contractual basis. For this, the firm which bags the contract gets the right to collect toll tax from vehicles traveling on these roads. Government vehicles, ambulance, agricultural vehicles, military vehicles, other emergency vehicles and two-wheelers have been exempted from this toll tax. |
