Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in his Independence Day address on Sunday, praised the new integrated Terminal-3 (T-3) at the New Delhi IGI airport and called it an “excellent terminal”. The Prime Minister said it was difficult for the Government alone to mobilise the resources needed to create good infrastructure that includes airports, roads and ports. He said that the government was now involving the private sector too in these efforts.
“There is a large deficit in our physical infrastructure which affects our economic development adversely. There is a shortfall in the supply of electricity to industries. Our roads, ports and airports are not of world standards. We have been trying to increase electricity production and improve our roads, ports and airports. The resources required to create good physical infrastructure are difficult for the Government alone to mobilise. Therefore, we have endeavoured to involve the private sector in our efforts,” the Prime Minister said.
“The steps that we have taken after 2004 to improve our physical infrastructure have started bearing fruit now. About one and half a months back, I dedicated a new terminal of the Delhi airport to the nation. This is an excellent terminal which has been completed in record time.”
