NHIDCL Issues Ultimatum to Contractor for Delayed Digboi-Ledo Road Project

29 Nov 2024 CW Team

The National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) has raised concerns over the slow progress of the road widening project from Digboi-Bogapani to Ledu in Assam’s Tinsukia district. The project, being undertaken by M/S Infra Corp Pvt Ltd, has been delayed due to technical lapses and missed milestones.

In a stern letter issued on November 19, 2024, NHIDCL reminded the contractor, M/S RK Infracorp, that the project deadline is December 6, 2025. However, significant delays in mobilization and inadequate progress have raised alarms. Despite having the necessary right-of-way, the contractor has failed to meet key project milestones.

NHIDCL also highlighted the absence of essential technical staff, including a Material Engineer and lab technicians, on-site. Furthermore, the contractor is accused of stocking unapproved materials and operating a concrete mixture plant without required environmental clearances.

NHIDCL officials warned that the contract might be terminated if the contractor does not rectify the defaults and expedite the project to ensure timely delivery of road infrastructure.
