Digital Desk: People of the region seem to be concerned that the functioning swiftness for constructing the Jorhat-Bogibeel Junction National Highway is fetching uneventful and fitful.
If the project continues at its current gait, the 127.77-kilometer four-lane National Highway stretch from Jorhat to Bogibeel Junction would not be completed in two or three years.
This period of roadway construction has turned into misery for the ordinary people of the region. This road has a few dusty and potholed areas that make commuting a terror.
The NHIDCL (National Highway and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd) could not reach the construction firms to rush the work despite monitoring from its Delhi and Guwahati headquarters. In April or May, the state is impacted by the monsoon.
The NHIDCL split the stretch of ground into four sections. As a result, exclusively 27.32 per cent of the Jorhat-Jhanjhi (37.8 km) project was finished by GDCL (Gannon Dunkerley Company Ltd) by the first week of December 2021.
The project's deadline was fixed for December 2020. Nevertheless, the NHIDCL newly foreclosed the contract and re-granted the contract to Vijeta Projects & Sweety Infrastructure (JV) by retendering due to the project's gross poor growth.
Until December 2021, 42.27 per cent of the 44.075-kilometre Jhanji-Demow project had been met. The last date for this project is May 2022.
If project work continues at its current speed, GDCL will likely overlook the deadline. For example, until December 2021, physical progress on the 26.9-kilometre Demow-End of Moran Bypass package was 76.99 per cent. The package was considered to be completed in April 2021. Yet, the delivery is sinking behind plan.
Until December 2021, the 19-kilometer End of Moran Bypass-Bogibeel Junction package had constructed a 62.50 per cent improvement. The project's deadline for fulfilment was December 2021. M/s Manaranjan Brahma is in charge of this project. Unfortunately, it's even a few days behind plan.
In New Delhi, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has a conversation with top NHIDCL officials. He voiced his dissatisfaction with the slow growth of this road construction. Construction firms were told by the NHIDCL headquarters and its Guwahati regional office to pull up the construction work for better transportation service quickly.
