Archana Pandya

Risk-averse bankers are slowing construction of infrastructure projects in India, Nitin Gadkari, the country's minister for road transport and highways, said.

There are two things New Delhi marketing executive Khyati Malhotra never leaves home without: Her taser and a pepper spray.

India plans to develop roads in neighboring countries as it seeks to strengthen its position in South Asia amid the growing influence of China.

The roads ministry is aiming to boost network of highways covering about 200,000 kilometers by the end of December, Mr Gadkari said.

It has been a week since 22-year-old Archana Pandya died in an alleged hit-and-run incident on the Western Express Highway in Mumbai's Goregaon suburb. The incident took place in front of the Vanrai Police Station, but the police are yet to identify and arrest the culprit.

Just four days into her new job, Archana Pandya (22) was returning home when a vehicle ran over her at Goregaon; she was lying injured for 20 minutes in front of a police station before she was rushed to hospital and declared dead on arrival.
