Lieutenant Governor, Girish Chandra Murmu directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL) to expedite the pace of work on the four-laning of Ramban to Banihal and two-laning of Chenani-Sudhmahadev road.

The Lt Governor passed these directions while reviewing the progress of various projects being undertaken by the NHAI and NHIDCL under implementation in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in a meeting here at the Civil Secretariat.

The Lt Governor directed the NHAI officers to undertake the technical supervision of works like earth-cutting along the Highways. He observed that the National Highway authorities shall not depend upon the contractors engaged for the works and must take the onus only on themselves for conducting the technical supervision to ensure the highest quality of works besides preserving the fragile hills. He further asked the officers to ensure the slope treatment along the roads wherever lateral earth-cutting is involved in the hilly areas.
