NHAI kick starts ₹1,500-cr highway project in Punjab
The stalled work of four-laning the Ropar-Phagwara highway resumed in Punjab's Nawanshahr district, after authorities allowed a relaxation in lockdown curbs on NHAI's request. The Punjab government had asked all DCs across the state to relax curfew conditions for the industry, construction work and other permitted services on case-to-case basis. The ₹1500-crore highway project covers 80 km from Phagwara to Ropar and was scheduled to be completed by April, but now it is expected to be wrapped up in the next six months. The local administration has instructed NHAI officials to adopt proper social distancing and provide masks, sanitizers, hand wash facility to the workers/laborers and proper shelters. The laborers will not be allowed to move out of the district and the project will continue in the non-containment zone only. The DC also said that they have set up various medical teams that will screen the workers from time-to-time.
