The overall status of National Highway Development Programme is given below There have been some delays in
implementation of the projects mainly due to poor performance of some contractors, delays in obtaining forest/wild
life/ railway clearances, law & order problems in some states, delay in
land acquisition. In order to expedite implementation of projects Regional
Officers each headed by Chief General Manager have been set up by NHAI for
close monitoring of implementation of projects. Measures have been taken to expedite land
