The Kanpur-Lucknow expressway has hit a major roadblock as the ministry of environment, forest and climate change has not issued the mandatory no objection certificate (NOC). The ministry has red flagged certain points.
The project manager National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) NN Giri said efforts were underway to address the concerns of the ministry. The tenders for the project would open next week, he said.
In order find solution to the issues raised by the ministry, the project director would meet the chief conservator of forest in Lucknow in a day or two, said officials who are privy to developments.
