Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that roads play a vital role in regional development and that the Atal Progress-Way will provide fresh momentum to the development of the Chambal region. Through this corridor, the districts of Morena, Sheopur, and Bhind will be connected to the Delhi–Vadodara Expressway via Rajasthan and to the Agra–Lucknow Highway in Uttar Pradesh. This will enhance connectivity with Kota, Mumbai, Kanpur, Lucknow, Agra, and Delhi, while also reducing travel time. As a result, industrial activities, trade and commerce, tourism, and overall mobility in the region will receive a boost.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav directed that the project be completed at the earliest, ensuring that land acquisition is carried out with the consent and satisfaction of farmers and local residents. He issued these instructions during a meeting on the Atal Progress-Way project held at the Chief Minister’s residence.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the route connecting Pench National Park, Kanha Tiger Reserve, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, and Panna National Park should be developed as a Tiger Tourism Corridor. He added that the 625-kilometre-long corridor would help promote wildlife tourism in line with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During the meeting, a comparative presentation of two proposed plans for the Atal Expressway was also made.

The meeting was attended by Public Works Minister Rakesh Singh, Chief Secretary Anurag Jain, Additional Chief Secretary Ashok Barnwal, and Principal Secretary, Public Works, Sukhbir Singh.
