In a stern letter issued on November 19, 2024, NHIDCL reminded the contractor, M/S RK Infracorp, that the project deadline is December 6, 2025. However, significant delays in mobilization and inadequate progress have raised alarms. Despite having the necessary right-of-way, the contractor has failed to meet key project milestones.
NHIDCL also highlighted the absence of essential technical staff, including a Material Engineer and lab technicians, on-site. Furthermore, the contractor is accused of stocking unapproved materials and operating a concrete mixture plant without required environmental clearances.
NHIDCL officials warned that the contract might be terminated if the contractor does not rectify the defaults and expedite the project to ensure timely delivery of road infrastructure.
