Chardham Highway Project

The Centre Friday told the Supreme Court that its plea seeking recall of an earlier order of the court be urgently heard as Army needs widened roads in the Chardham highway project which goes up to China border due to problems faced there.

The Supreme Court Tuesday said it would hear on May 14 the matter relating to widening of the Chardham highway project, after the Centre said it involves question of national security as the road goes up to China border.

The Supreme Court today asked its high-powered committee, monitoring the Chardham highway project, to consider within two weeks the applications including that of the Ministry of Defence seeking widening of roads up to 7 metres in the Indo-China Border area.

The Supreme Court Tuesday said the 2018 circular of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) on width of roads in hilly and mountainous terrains be followed in construction of Chardham highway project, providing all-weather connectivity to four holy towns of Uttarakhand.

The Supreme Court has cleared the decks for the Chardham highway project, which will connect four holy places in the hills of Uttarakhand through 900-km all-weather roads, by modifying an NGT order to constitute a fresh committee to look into environmental concerns.
