(a) whether there is any scheme to construct new roads as well as necessary associated through

main road or city;

MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI PRADEEP JAIN ‘ADITYA’)
(a): There is no separate Missing Link scheme by Government to construct new roads under PMGSY.
However, since Phase I &II works were cleared before Core Network for the States were finalized,
there could be possibility of some roads getting missed. Further, at the time of proposing roads
in a Phase, some roads might have been left out due to non availability of land at that point of
time. In those cases, States have proposed such roads under Missing Links. The proposals received
are from Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram and Orissa.
(b): The details of proposals received and sanctioned under Missing Links were as under:
Sl State Length Cost (Rs.in crore) No. in km.
1 Andhra Pradesh 1297 161.61
2 Bihar 1184 532.21
3 Karnataka 152 26.19
4 Madhya Pradesh 1085 322.99
5 Mizoram 182 22.28
6 Orissa 255 73.37
