………………………………………………………………………………………………………

(a) Construction of road project is taken up in a sequence which leads to least discomfort to the road users. The sequence is decided in such a way that safe and smooth passages is allowed to the  road  user.  However,  sometimes  due  to  hindrance  at  site,  resistance  by  the  people  raising demand for additional facilities etc., the sequence is altered. Such adjustments are made at local level for short duration.

(b) to (e) Highway project are delayed mainly due to delay in land acquisition, delay in getting project  clearances,  poor  performance  of  the  Contractor/Concessionaire,  etc.  In  the  recent  past, some of the projects have been stalled due to NCLT proceedings against the Contractors/Concessionaires.   Details  of  such  projects  are  enclosed  at Annexure-I.   To  revive such  projects,  number  of  policy  issues  have  been  brought  out  by  the  Government  which  also include  extending  the  facility  of  Interest  Bearing  Working  Capital  Advance  against  unbilled executed work, not qualifying for payment under milestone achievement based payment.
