Centre sticks to its stand in SC on width of Char Dham road
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it would hear on Friday the case pertaining to the widening of roads of Char Dham highway in Uttarakhand.
A bench comprising Justices Vinet Saran and Dinesh Maheshwari took note of the submission made by Attorney General K K Venugopal who said that the roads have to be constructed at a width of 7 metres.
The strategic 900-km long project aims to provide all-weather connectivity to four important Hindu pilgrimage sites: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, in Uttarakhand.
