"The entire scheme has been designed in a manner that people get a good place to take a break, rest and eat during long journeys. There will be more such complexes along divided highways," said a ministry official. Sources said road transport minister Nitin Gadkari has approved the plan, and has asked for the work to start. Soon after taking charge, Prime Minister Narendra Modi h...
