NHAI to scrap part of contract due to land acquisition issues

To reduce build-up of arbitration cases, NHAI has asked its project managers to cancel portions of proposed contracts in case there are hurdles in land acquisition. In a letter to the authority’s regional offices and project directors, NHAI has urged that the matter of land acquisition not be left pending as it leads to litigation cases in the future. Besides, the authority has asked its regional offices for stricter maintenance of land acquisition progression data.
