NH124D Update: Significant Momentum for Ghazipur District Highway Project
Ghazipur News Team, Ghazipur. In a significant development, the NH124D highway project in Ghazipur district has gained substantial momentum, marking a crucial step towards improving connectivity in the region. Approved last December, the project has made remarkable progress, with the government allocating a budget of 875 crore rupees for its completion.
The NH124D, also known as the Saidpur-Sadat-Mardah National Highway (nh 124d mardah jalalabad saidpur), promises enhanced transportation facilities for the people of Ghazipur. Recent months have witnessed the initiation of the tendering process for this pivotal highway project. The responsible organization awarded the construction contract for 266.44 crore rupees, with the remaining 891 crores slated for the district administration to cover land acquisition and other expenses.
Advancing Pre-construction Activities
In preparation for the NH124D project, officials are actively engaged in survey and land measurement activities. Spanning from Saidpur in Ghazipur to Mardah, with a route passing through Sadat Nagar, this highway is set to revolutionize regional connectivity. As a pre-construction phase, authorities have meticulously surveyed the lands belonging to various landowners and residents affected by the project.
This comprehensive approach includes precise land measurements, boundary delineation, and property valuation. Notably, compensation for land acquisition will adhere to prevailing circle rates, ensuring a transparent and equitable process.
Empowering Local Involvement
At the heart of this endeavor lies the involvement of local residents and landowners. With NH124D covering an expansive area encompassing 56 villages, addressing each resident's concerns becomes imperative. The teams executing land measurement activities have encountered a significant number of inquisitive individuals keen to understand the implications for their properties.
Streamlined Compensation Distribution
Notably, a proactive strategy has been adopted for compensating landowners impacted by this project. Over 2000 landowners, whose lands are essential for NH124D's construction, have already received compensation totaling around 135 crore rupees. This distribution process plays a critical role in ensuring a seamless progression of the project.
Key Figures and Milestones
To provide context, it's essential to reflect on the history of this substantial project. In 2015, the then-member of Parliament for Ghazipur district, now the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, submitted a proposal for NH124D's construction to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. On March 23, 2016, the Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, confirmed that the proposal would be assessed.
On December 12, 2021, an eagerly awaited update arrived when Nitin Gadkari tweeted about NH124D's approval. Subsequent to this announcement, meticulous planning and preparation were initiated for the construction of NH124D.
Paving the Way for Transformation
Local involvement is of paramount importance to ensure the seamless execution of this vital infrastructure project. With compensation distribution expected to conclude by November, anticipation is growing for the commencement of highway construction.
In conclusion, the NH124D highway project in Ghazipur district underlines the government's unwavering commitment to enhancing regional transportation infrastructure. Successful implementation of this project promises improved connectivity, fostering economic growth and enhancing residents' quality of life. The cooperative approach and transparent land acquisition process underscore a meticulously crafted plan, taking local concerns into account. As we eagerly await the construction phase, the transformation of Ghazipur's transportation landscape beckons on the horizon. Stay tuned for further NH124D updates and developments.
