Over 3K trees to be axed for NH 4-laning

Ambala, July 1

After the owners failed to voluntarily remove their structures coming in way of the Ambala-Saha National Highway 444-A four-laning, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched a drive to forcibly bring down the constructions obstructing the execution of the already delayed project.

Most owners fail to comply with NHAI orders

The NHAI had served the notices to the owners of all such structures in the first week of June and had given them 21-day time to remove the structures, but most of them failed to comply with the order, said an official of the NHAI.

Under the drive, at least 139 concrete structures and more than 3,000 full grown trees will be removed to pave way for the four-laning of the highway.
