They stated that the construction of bridges at Budhiya and Gabheni will be completed by November and December. The officials were also advised to initiate the construction work on the Surat-Navasari State Highway promptly. Due to heavy vehicles parking around the highway from Ichhapor to Hazira, which causes traffic problems, discussions were held on creating necessary parking facilities.
