## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

- (a)  to  (c)    The  Government  in  Ministry  of  Road  Transport  & Highways is primarily responsible for development and maintenance of  National  Highways  (NHs)  in  the  country  including  the  NHs  in Budaun  district  in  the  State  of  Uttar  Pradesh.   Development  and maintenance  of  State  roads  including  State  Highways,  district roads, rural roads etc. is the responsibility of State Government.

The Government receives proposals from various State Governments  /  Union  Territories  (UTs),  from  time  to  time,  for declaration / upgradation of State Roads, including State Highways (SHs),  as  new  NHs.  Decisions  are  taken  to  notify  State  Roads including from the district of Budaun in Uttar Pradesh as NHs from time  to  time  based  on  the  broad  principles  of  declaration  of  NHs, requirement  of  connectivity,  traffic  density  and  synergy  with  PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP).

Development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs) is a continuous process. Works on NHs, including the NHs connecting Budaun,  are  accordingly  taken  up  based  on  the  traffic  density, condition of road and synergy with PM Gati Shakti NMP to keep the NHs in traffic worthy conditions.

NH-530B traverses Budaun district in a length of 55 km.   Project-wise  details  of  sanctioned/  ongoing  NHs  projects  for development  and  maintenance  of  NHs  passing  through  Budaun district are annexed.

At  grade  intersection,  Vehicular  Underpass  (VUP)//Flyover  is provisioned as per Indian Road Congress (IRC) standards whenever NH  intersects  a  State  Highway/District  road/rural  road  depending upon traffic intensity, road safety and site requirements.

The  Detailed  Project  Report  (DPR)  module  tool  developed  by the  Government  along  with  the  available  features  in  the  dynamic Geographic  Information  System  (GIS)  platform  based  on  PM  Gati Shakti NMP  Portal is helpful for optimizing the NHs  project alignments and planning of projects considering information related to  existing  physical  /  geographical  features,  forest  areas,  ecosensitive areas, etc., in minimizing ecological impacts, requirements  of  clearances  and  faster  and  more  effective  project preparation. This contributes significantly in faster implementation of projects by obviating need for mid-course corrections / revisions in project features during project implementation  phases.  Further,  projects  are  also  examined  by Network  Planning  Group  (NPG)  and  the  advice  of  NPG  is  suitably incorporated.

The  PM  Gati  Shakti  NMP  portal  depicts  the  economic  zones and  the  infrastructure  linkages  required  to  support  them  with  an objective  to  holistically  integrate  all  the  multimodal  connectivity projects.  This  also  facilitates  identifying  the  missing  gaps  for seamless movement  of people, goods & services for proper connectivity, thereby improving the logistics efficiency, thus boosting trade and manufacturing.

These  developments  have  increased  the  balanced  regional connectivity  and accessibility  to  the  NHs  across  the  country including increased logistics efficiency.
