SLOW CONSTRUCTION WORK ON MEERUT-KOTDWAR-BADRINATH ROAD

---

LOK SABHA

The Meerut-Kotdwar-Badrinath route from Meerut to Srinagar is served by two State Highways, namely SH-47 and SH-41 passing through Uttar Pradesh/Uttaranchal and further from Srinagar to Badrinath by National Highway No. 58 (NH-58). The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is responsible only for the National Highways. The Ministry has sanctioned widening works on NH-58 which are being done through Border Roads Organisation. The inconvenience thus caused to the road users is kept at the minimum.

Details of State Highways are not available. As far as NH 58 is concerned, the construction work is progressing as per target schedule of completion.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik in a written reply to a question of Dr. Mahendra Singh Pal in Lok Sabha today.
