NHAI makes major changes in Pathankot-Mandi road project

For the speedy execution of the Pathankot-Mandi highway widening project, the NHAI has made various changes in its original detailed project report (DPR) for the 219-km strategic road project that links Pathankot with Leh. The project is being executed in five phases between Pathankot and Mandi.

Anil Sen, project director of NHAI, while talking to The Tribune here, said the Centre had major changes in the phases III, IV, and V of the project, which had now been restricted to two-lanes instead of four-lanes. As per the original DPR, there was a proposal to construct four-lanes up to Mandi in all five phases.
