Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has called on the construction industry to look for cost-effective and environment friendly energy sources.

The industry needed to get rid of diesel as early as possible as it was hazardous. "It is not only causing the pollution problem but also, as an industry, we are facing economic viability problem," the minister said.
