Highway Projects
Chief Secretary, recently held a detailed meeting with NHAI, NHIDCL, Beacon and Project SAMPARK and sought reports from the executing agencies to furnish fortnightly reports about both the physical and financial progress registered in each project.
The meeting took stock of progress made, so far, in completion of different National Highway projects across the length and breadth of the UT.
He maintained that these projects are being monitored at highest level for effective implementation. He asked for furnishing the weekly reports to the PWD and biweekly to his office for regular monitoring of these vital projects for completion on time.
He enjoined upon these agencies to ensure that those responsible for delays should also be pointed out in these reports as the lackadaisical approach on anybody’s part would be viewed seriously and action initiated against the non-performers.
He asked for working in double shifts wherever necessary and assured of all possible assistance on part of the district and divisional administration.
He directed the Department of Mining to ensure that short term permits for mining of material to complete these highways are used exclusively for this purpose. He asked for marking all the vehicles carrying such material with RFID tags so that their monitoring becomes easy and efficient to curb itsillegal use.
