Jorhat-Jhanji 4-lane highway achieves 97% progress: DC Shivani
Dibrugarh: The long-awaited four-lane NH-37 stretch between Jorhat and Jhanji is finally approaching completion, with Jorhat DC Jay Shivani announcing that the project has achieved 97% physical progress during a comprehensive inspection on Tuesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The DC, accompanied by officials from the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), conducted a thorough review of the construction work that has been ongoing for nearly a decade. The inspection comes as the project enters its final phase, bringing hope to commuters who have endured years of construction delays and traffic disruptions. "The project is on the last stage of construction and has achieved a physical progress of 97%," said DC Jay Shivani during the inspection. However, he emphasised the need for acceleration in critical areas, directing NHIDCL officials to expedite work on two crucial components — the Bhogdoi river bridge and the Jhanji river bridge. The ambitious infrastructure project spans 37.8 km, with 36.8 km falling within Jorhat district and one km extending into neighbouring Sivasagar district. The massive undertaking represents a total investment of Rs 738.15 crore and includes the construction of a modern toll plaza to manage traffic flow and revenue collection. The construction work has been divided among three contractors across four different packages. M/s Sadguru Engineers holds responsibility for constructing 10 km of the highway alongside the toll plaza infrastructure. M/s Binni Construction is managing a 14-km stretch, while M/s MP Agarwala is handling the remaining 13.8 km of the project. The highway project has faced significant challenges since its inception, with multiple cost and time overruns plaguing the construction timeline. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari had laid the foundation stone for the Jorhat-Jhanji four-lane section on Feb 27, 2016, marking the beginning of what was expected to be a transformative infrastructure development for the region. However, nine years have passed since construction began, far exceeding the original timeline and highlighting the complex nature of large-scale highway projects in the region. The delays have been attributed to various factors, including land acquisition, weather disruptions, logistical challenges and contractor-related hurdles, common to infrastructure projects in Assam. The completion of the highway stretch is expected to significantly improve connectivity in the upper Assam region, facilitating smoother transportation of goods and passengers, while reducing travel time. The four-lane configuration will accommodate increased traffic volume and enhance road safety standards along the crucial corridor.

GNIDA wants waste pickup fee, RWAs say paid already
Noida: Greater Noida residents staged a walkout during a meeting with GNIDA, protesting newly proposed charges for garbage collection. The residents argued that they had already paid for such services through the one-time lease rent during property registration. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a meeting held by GNIDA's health department with representatives from RWAs on Monday, the authority informed residents about the proposed monthly charges for garbage collection. These charges were to range from Rs 80 for plots up to 200 square meters to Rs 150 for plots exceeding 500 square meters. However, residents voiced strong opposition, citing the poor state of waste management services in the city and their belief that the cleanliness of the area is the responsibility of the municipal body or GNIDA itself. The meeting, chaired by Chetram Singh, senior manager of GNIDA's health department, included RWAs from sectors such as Alpha 1 and 2, Beta 1 and 2, Gamma 1 and 2, and others. During the session, residents were informed of the new charges: Rs 80 per month for plots up to 200sqm, Rs 100 for plots between 200 and 300sqm, Rs 120 for plots between 300 and 500sqm, and Rs 150 per month for plots larger than 500sqm. Residents were quick to point out that they had already paid for waste collection services through the lease rent they had paid at the time of property registration. Nidhi Sharma, a resident of Sector Gamma 1, quipped, "When lease rent and transfer charges are being taken, why are additional user charges for waste collection being imposed?" Many residents condemned the proposal, viewing it as yet another financial burden. The walkout was also fueled by the longstanding issues with waste disposal in Greater Noida. According to multiple residents, the cleanliness situation in the city is dire, with poor service from the agency hired by GNIDA, Blue Planet. Residents also raised concerns over the poor waste collection practices. "Despite a tender worth 30-35 crores, urban sectors are not being cleaned properly," Bhati added. The residents also pointed to the outsourcing of waste collection to the private company Blue Planet, which, they claimed, had failed to meet expectations. Alok Singh, another resident of Greater Noida said, "Every time a problem is solved, it reappears the next day. The authorities have failed to deliver, and now they're asking for more money." In light of these protests, resident Alok Singh suggested that GNIDA form a dedicated city maintenance department (CMD), which would streamline waste management and other civic services
