New Delhi , Jan. 16

THE Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Mr Praful Patel, has said that none of the sectors will develop if the road infrastructure is not given a boost.

Mr Patel, who inaugurated the Federation of Automobile Dealers' Association (FADA), admitted that the road infrastructure in the country was poor. "Only about 200 to 300 km of roads in India can be classified as world class," he said.
