The Jharkhand government has approved six highway projects to be executed at a cost of around Rs 271 crore, a state government official said on Wednesday.

The projects include a Rs 114.83-crore proposal for widening, strengthening and reconstruction of a 38.56-km stretch, and another Rs 39.34 crore for bolstering a 30.67-km stretch, he said.

The state cabinet, during a recent meeting, cleared the projects, the official added.
