Following an important meeting earlier this week, a deadline of November 30 was established for finishing the patchwork of the state’s damaged roadways.

Additional Chief Secretary Radha Raturi stated that the authorities have been given two months to ensure that the roads are free of potholes at a review meeting. “During this period, the departmental seniors need to keep an eye on the work done and also ensure that quality work is done,” she said. The DMs have been instructed to submit their recommendations as soon as possible. In the meantime, an allocation of Rs 300 crore has been made for installing crash barriers in the hill areas.
