CAIT urges PM Modi to name road & highway after Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee

New Delhi, Oct 26 (KNN) The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) in a communication sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi today has suggested that in order to keep alive the remembrance of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Rajpath Road in Delhi should be renamed as "Atal Bihari Vajpayee Path".

According to a press release, CAIT National Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal in his communication to Prime Minister has also suggested that a tall statute of Vajpayee may be erected at Vijay Chowk in Delhi near Parliament.

Khandelwal also suggested that the Golden Quadrilateral Highway Network should also be named as Atal Behari Vajpayee Rashtriya Rajmarg. The Golden Quadrilateral Highway Network was the brainchild of Shri Vajpayee to connect the entire Country. If this project is named after him, it will be a true tribute to a person who saw the dream of connecting India with Highways.

The CAIT has sent copies of the letter addressed to Prime Minister to Minister for Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari and Union Urban Development Minister Hardeep Puri for necessary action.

Khandelwal said that Vajpayee was a great Statesman, patriot, visionary and one of the tallest leader the Country ever produced having a charismatic personality coupled with friends across the Country & the World. The indebted Country can take these small steps to keep him alive in the history for the next generations.
