Srinagar: The Ramban-Banihal stretch along Srinagar-Jammu National Highway has recorded a 38 per cent physical progress.
The central government has earlier fixed December 2021 as the deadline for the completion of the project with an outlay of Rs 2169 crore, however, the project could not be completed on time as the authorities have submitted DPR for realignment of the 13-kilometer road stretch in order to bypass landslide-prone areas.
Officials say that after approval of the realignment plan which was submitted by the National Highway Authority of India to the Government of India, the pace of work on the project has been expedited.
