## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## (SHRI MANSUKH L. MANDAVIYA)

(a) to (b) Development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs) is a continuous process and these are kept in traffic worthy condition depending upon the availability of funds and inter se priority.  The  state-wise  details  of  length  of  NHs  developed/constructed  during  the  last  three  years including  Uttar  Pradesh  are  given  in  Annexure-I.  The  State-wise  details  of  NHs  which  have  been added/declared from State Highways are given in Annexure-II.

(c) to (e) Yes madam. There have been representations from the traders, residents, shopkeepers to change the alignment of the proposed highway passing through Khurdahi Bazar. Alignment of this road has been finalized by the DPR consultant keeping in view the technical requirements  since the existing road alignment was in a very sharp curve which cannot cater the design standards of four laning, so accordingly improvement is proposed with shifting the alignment to the Right Hand Side (RHS) to improve the curve  for  meeting  the  design  standards.  About  191  persons  are  effected  in Khurdahi Bazar for which total Rs 9.18 Cr. compensation has been deposited in the joint account of CALA. But only Rs. 1.49 Cr. has been disbursed by the Additional District Magistrate (LA) due to dispute in ownership of land for which 125 persons approached the District Court.
