Bhopal, December 29, 2025 – In a high-level review meeting at the state secretariat here today, Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla emphasized the urgent need to accelerate the construction of the crucial 6-lane Rewa Bypass, directing officials to prioritize the project and resolve all bottlenecks without delay.
The session focused on key challenges, including the widening of the Rathehra Chowkaha route and complex technical aspects of the canal crossing. Shukla instructed the team to escalate any emerging administrative or engineering issues immediately to senior authorities for rapid resolution, ensuring the ambitious infrastructure initiative stays on track and meets its deadlines.
"This project is vital for improving connectivity and easing traffic congestion in the region," Shukla stated, underscoring the government's commitment to timely execution. "No hurdles—technical or otherwise—should impede progress."
Attendees included Ravindra Kumar, regional officer from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), and Rakesh Jain, Chief Engineer of the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC), who provided on-ground updates and committed to intensified monitoring.
The Rewa Bypass, a flagship highway development, aims to streamline travel between key districts, boosting economic activity and reducing commute times for thousands of residents. With the state racing against seasonal deadlines, today's directives signal a renewed push to deliver the corridor ahead of schedule, potentially transforming regional logistics by mid-2026.
