While the possession of around 4.5 km of land required for the 10.6-km-long Chandigarh-Kharar road project is yet to be taken, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is hopeful of its completion by January 2020. It has engaged Larsen & Toubro for the project.
KL Sachdeva, project director, NHAI, said the Mohali Administration had expedited the process of making payment of compensation a couple of months ago. “Our work is on. If we get the possession of the land required for the Rs 368 crore project soon, the project will hopefully be completed by January next year.”
