Some national highways in Bihar urgently needed repair for smooth movement of long-distance vehicular traffic, the Bihar government stated on December 3. But the government blamed the Central agency, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), for not responding to the repeated request of the State government.
Bihar’s Road Construction Department Minister Nand Kishore Yadav, while replying to a question of Rajnish Kumar (local bodies) in the Bihar Legislative Council during pre-lunch session, said the repair work on all such NHs has to be done by the NHAI.
The Minister said the State government had informed the NHAI about the repair work of NH-56/69 from Begusarai Jail gate to Rahimpur in Khagaria via Balia and Sahebpur Kamal on July 22 last year. The NHAI contractor concerned has also been communicated about it but till date no progress has been made, the Minister said. The regular monitoring of the condition of NH roads in Bihar is also not done by the NHAI on regular basis, the Minister regretted.
The State government has also informed the NHAI to remove high speed breakers on Patna-Mokama NH stretch till Rajendra bridge, the Minister added.
