Construction of Four-Laned National Highways in Progress

By Accommodation Times (www.accommodationtimes.com)

The Four-laned National Highways are being constructed in the country and the progress in implementation has been affected due to poor performance of contractors, delays in obtaining forest / wild life / railway clearances, law & order problems in some states, delay in land acquisition etc.
The Union Government has taken steps to minimize the delays in completion of all its projects include setting up of Regional Offices by NHAI headed by Chief General Managers with adequate delegation of powers, setting up of special land acquisition units, setting up of High Powered Committees under the Chairmanship of Chief Secretaries of State Governments to resolve the bottlenecks relating to shifting of utilities, land acquisition issues, etc. Further, the delayed projects are closely monitored and periodically reviewed at the Headquarter as well as in the field units for expeditious completion.
