Banihal: The government of India on Wednesday said that work of rehabilitation, strengthening and four-laning of Banihal bypass has been taken up and is targeted to be completed by the end of current financial year.
Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, as per the news agency Kashmir News Observer, 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.
