Basic facilities like toilets, petrol pumps and food malls will soon come up along the Samruddhi Expressway. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) to appoint consultants to set up these basic facilities along the route. “Of the 16 locations, at least four locations on the highway should be developed keeping tourism purposes at the centre of the planning,” Fadnavis added.

There have been complaints over the lack of facilities along the expressway. FILE PIC/SHADAB KHAN
