Gadkari took to social media to announce the project. "All the Jyotirlingas will be connected by the central government鈥檚 Jyotirlinga connect project," he tweeted.
"The work on the 66-km national highway will start at Bhima Shankar soon. Along with that, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will also conduct work on Bankar Phata, Junnar, Ghodegaon, and Taleghar roads. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are committed to developing religious and tourist places, "said Gadkari.
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Ajinta city will be connected by the new roadway in the Sambhajinagar district. It will help to improve road connectivity to Grishneshwar temple, stated Gadkari.
