The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) plans to appoint a non-technical consultant to expedite highway construction by addressing land acquisition issues. The objective is to streamline the awarding and construction processes for highways by improving land acquisition procedures, which frequently cause delays.
The consultant will provide advice on policy matters, land acquisition, public grievances, and legal cases. Responsibilities will include monitoring projects, coordinating land acquisition activities, managing the Bhoomi Rashi and other related portals, and performing additional tasks as directed by the ministry.
