NEW DELHI, May 2: Chief Whip of Congress Parliamentary Party and Dibrugarh MP Paban Singh Ghatowar has said that construction of highways in the Northeast India including Assam is delayed owing to problems in land acquisition and environmental clearances.
In a letter to the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Kamal Nath, the Congres chef whip in Lok Sabha Ghatowar said, “The alignment plans of the projects considered in Assam may kindly be intimated along with probable time of starting those projects, so as to enable the state governments to start the preliminary works like land acquisition and forest clearance, which are otherwise very time-consuming processes. If land acquisition and forest clearance can be completed beforehand, the implementation of the projects can be expected within stipulated time without any hindrance.” The Northeast is a land locked region. Road connectivity is one of the major problems of the region.
