## ANSWER

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

## (SHRI MANSUKH L. MANDAVIYA)

(a) to (d) The  State-wise  &  Year-wise  details  of  the  National  Highways  (NHs)  length constructed  during the last four year is enclosed at Annexure-I. Ministry has set the target for construction of 10000 km for the financial year 2018-19 and 5759 km has been achieved as on 30th  Nov  in  2018-19.  The  State  /UT-wise  details  of  funds  allocated  for  development  of  NHs during each of the last four years and current year is given in Annexure-II.

(e) No Madam. However, land acquisition is a long drawn process involving various stages such  as  notification  under  3(a),  3(A)  and  3(D)  under  NH  Act.  1956.  After  notification  under 3(A), objections are invited from the land owners and after disposing of the objections, the final notification under 3(D) is issued.  Compensation is decided by the Competent Authority (Land Acquisition) and if anyone is aggrieved with the quantum of compensation amount, then there is a provision to approach the arbitrator to resolve the matter. No separate data for protests/objections is kept.

(f) Cost overrun is applicable only to EPC/item rate contracts. In such contracts, there is a provision for payment of escalation due to delay if it is not attributable to Contractor. In case the project  is  delayed  due  to  reasons  attributable  to  the  Contractor,  liquidated  damages  are  to  be imposed and no escalation is payable. Actual escalation due to delay or cost overrun is known only after completion of the project and final settlement of bills.

(g) Yes Madam.
