The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will start repair work on the main carriageway and service lanes of NH-8 between the Kherki Daula toll plaza and Kotputli in Jaipur within a week, officials privy to the matter said.
An amount of ₹21 crore has been sanctioned by the NHAI for urgent and special repair of parts of this road. The move comes after a number of complaints were lodged with the highway authority both in Jaipur and its headquarters in Delhi by residents living in developing sectors beyond Kherki Daula, who regularly have to take this route to go to their offices in Manesar.
A letter accepting the bid was issued to a Jaipur-based contractor on April 18.
