NHAI hastens construction of 4-lane NHs in Himachal

NHAI
Himachal Pradesh Additional Chief Secretary has recently held a meeting to review and fast track four laning of national highways including Kiratpur-Manali, Parwanoo-Shimla and Baddi Nalagarh Projects, said an official spokesperson. Of the approx ₹4260.00 crore received from NHAI, ₹4004.00 crore has been disbursed to the land owners. The official emphasized that timely relief should be given to land owners whose properties have been damaged in areas located out of right of way (ROW) to avoid any kind of inconvenience. Such a situation is prevailing in the vicinity of Solan town, which would also be applicable elsewhere depending on the genuineness and merit of the case. Reviewing the construction of Takoli-Kullu stretch of Kiratpur-Manali four laning, where most of the work has been done, project director NHAI Mandi has been directed to redress issues before the onset of the rainy season. Similarly, work in Parwanoo-Solan stretch of Parwanoo-Shimla four laning projects should be geared up for completion.
