The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has issued a notice of intention to terminate the work given to Essel Infraprojects Limited to widen NH-44 into 12 lanes, including eight main lanes and four service lanes.
The project of widening the highway from Mukarba Chowk in Delhi to Panipat in Haryana has not only missed its April 2019 deadline but only 44 per cent of the work has been completed so far. The delay caused a lot of inconvenience to commuters, forcing them to face frequent traffic jams.
