Andhra Pradesh Transport Minister S Raghava Rao said that the road connectivity in the residuary State of Andhra Pradesh would be improved on a war footing.
Speaking to media persons at the State Secretariat on Thursday, Rao said that all Gram Panchayats of Andhra Pradesh would be connected with the district headquarters by improving the existing roads and laying of new ones wherever required.
He said that better road connectivity would play a crucial role in the development of Andhra Pradesh.
The minister also informed that steps were being taken to minimise the losses being suffered by the State-run Road Transport Corporation.
He said that the RTC was incurring losses of Rs 2.70 crore every day. However, he stated that the losses could be minimised by improving the services.
He said that there was a proposal to replace the old buses with new ones, which would ensure better service and convenience to the passengers while reducing pollution.
He added that the RTC would soon also introduce services on new routes. (INN)
