JAMMU, Apr 5: Union Minister for Road, Transport and National Highways Nitin Gadkari today said that work of rehabilitation, strengthening and four-laning of Banihal bypass has been taken up.
Gadkari informed the Rajya Sabha that initially the project was delayed due to non-availability of land primarily on account of litigations.
He said now acquisition of land has been completed and work has been re-awarded as EPC contract.
He also said that detailed geological and geotechnical investigations have been conducted at the time of preparation of DPR for tunnels being constructed on NH-44.
