Farmers’ wait in Karnal district is likely to be over soon as the state government has transferred Rs 200 crore to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for the construction of the eastern bypass and the third phase of western bypass, a part of the outer ring road project.
The NHAI has acquired farmers’ land for the project. The authorities claimed the amount transferred by the state government would be further transferred to the farmers’ bank accounts.
“We have received Rs 200 crore from the state government and as per the policy, the amount will be disbursed to the farmers soon,” said a senior official of the NHAI.
