Greenfield Highway Project cannot bolster Khammam’s inclusive growth
Deccan ChronicleKhammam: The proposed greenfield highway from Khammam to Rajamahendravaram as part of an economic corridor will neither render additional benefits to farmers nor to those living in Khammam district in terms of inclusive growth due to the design of the road project. The design of the highway, which runs 92 kilometres in Khammam district, is unlike any other national highway and will be devoid of approach roads, implying that vehicles cannot enter the road like with NHs. Even economic activity that picks up with the establishment of hotels, restaurants, shops, mechanic sheds and other stalls in areas adjoining NHs will be absent with the Greenfield highway. Kasara Rajasekhara Reddy, an advocate said, “Economic activity will be increased in any national highway project.
