Approval awaited for DPR of Donipwa-Janglat Mandi stretch

The National Highway India Corporation (NHIDCL) clarified that the Donipwa – Janglat Mandi stretch of Anantnag was not part of NH-244 project. NH-244 is entrusted to NHIDCL for development and maintenance. On Kashmir side, stretch from 193 km (Sinthan Pass) to km 235 (Vailoo) is under maintenance. Development work on 235 Km (Vailoo) to Km 263 (Donipawa) has just been completed.

It said that from Doinapawa the Bypass via Achajipora till Alstop (8.47 Km length) is under construction. The two km stretch from Donipwa to Janglatmandi is not the part of the project now.

Pertinently, the beacon, which was initially the executing agency for the project, had already notified the road and done its valuation way back in the year 2007.

However, even after the National Highway authorities took over the stretch was left as such. “The government later decided to bypass this stretch of main town along the banks of Aaripat, a Jehlum tributary, connecting it with Achajpora. Hence the earlier proposal was dropped out,” said an R & B official. He said the road is now under R& B.
