PM’s Address to Indian Diaspora in Myanmar

Let it be metro or tier 2 cities the road connects people and I feel that's only dividing India as there is a big Gap which need to be bridge. Hope the Indian Roads will get a complete with new makeover ...instead of using tar..they should come out with cement roads... Every country will get recognised looking to it's Roads and infrastructure... After swatch Bharat mission...Modiji should run a campaign for Clean and sturdy roads... The local corporaters and Municipal Corporation are still doing lots of under current jobs by not using proper material and within one rain the roads get peeled off. Time has come to put a complete scanner on these people and cancel the license of those people who are doing such pathetic roads and miss using public money. I request Modiji and Road Minster Nitin Gadakariji to start a big mission and improve all the roads which can make a big impact all across India. Make our Nation proud as its Run and Walks on Road ..to make it most powerful and successful. Regards
