BHUBANESWAR: With public anger mounting over inordinate delay in expansion and poor upkeep of the National Highway-5 from Manguli Chhak to Angul town, the State government on Wednesday asked the State head of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to make the road motorable without delay.
The issue raised by BJD MLA from Angul Rajanikant Singh was discussed at a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Suresh Mahapatra here on Wednesday. Angul Collector Sidhartha Shankar Swain apprised the precarious condition of NH-5 particularly the Banarpal and Angul town stretch.
