The statement, signed by CEO and the agency’s chief engineer Ravi Singh, stated that construction on the first 20.5km stretch & the 23 to 29km stretch have been completed, with work on four connecting lanes ongoing. However, construction of a bridge in the middle of the two has been delayed due to it being in a landslide zone.
Officials added that landslides in 2018 and 2021 necessitated changes in the alignment . However, there was disagreement among villagers over the proposed changes.
