BENGALURU: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highway, Nitin Gadkari, has said that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is in the process of engaging a consultant to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for development of the Mysuru-Nanjangud section of the National Highway-212 from four lanes to six lanes.
