Four-laning of Ambala-Saha road resumes

Ambala, May 5

After remaining stalled for over a month, work has resumed to four-lane the busy Ambala-Saha National Highway 444-A.

The district administration gave its nod to resume work from single-point after the private firm executing the project gave an undertaking to ensure social distancing and follow Covid guidelines. The firm had relieved almost 680 workers and supervisory staffers following the national lockdown effective March 25. However, around 120 workers and supervisory staffers were staying at the project site, who have been put on job to resume the work.

The company spokesperson said almost 25 per cent of the work had been completed and over 12,000 full-grown trees had been axed for four-laning the busy highway. As per the plan, the agency would undertake work on constructing bridges over Tangri and Omla rivers before the onset of the monsoon. — TNS
