No headway in 4-laning of Boulevard Road
Envisioned in 2011, the much awaited 4-laning of Boulevard road project is in limbo as the Nagpur-based National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) has failed to submit an environmental assessment report to the government.
In November 2017, Jammu and Kashmir High Court Dal monitoring conservation cell had directed LAWDA to consult the Nagpur-based NEERI considered an expert agency to prepare an environmental assessment report before initiating work on the four-laning project on Boulevard road.
“There is no delay from our side. We are waiting for NEERI’s environmental assessment report on this project. Until they won’t give their report, the work on this project won’t start,” said Chief Engineer, Roads and Buildings Department Kashmir, Showkat Ahmad.
