NHAI aiming to complete Kumbh Mela works by June 2020

With the State Government focusing its efforts on ensuring a grand Kumbh Mela slated to be held during 2021 in Haridwar, the National Highways Authority (NHAI) is also striving to overcome the roadblocks that have caused delays in completion of various construction works.

According to sources, the company, tasked with the construction works in the past, was blacklisted later. Due to this, the NHAI is now working to finish the tasks left incomplete by the blacklisted company.

The authority is working to complete works on four national highways before the Kumbh Mela 2021.

These works include work on 80 kilometres of national highway 58 from Narsan to Shantikunj, works on national highway 73 from Roorkee towards Chutmalpur, Saliyar bypass, national highway 72 A and national highway 74 from Chidiyapur to Najibabad.
