  • Supreme Court-appointed expert committee has alleged violations of the court orders in the execution of the Chardham road project
  • What was the Court ruling?
    • A controversial aspect was the proposed width of the two-lane highways envisaged. The top court ruled last month that a width of 5.5 metre be enforced as it was in conformity with a 2018 recommendation of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) for mountain roads.
  • What is Chardham Project?
    • The project comprises improvement as well as the development of 889 km length of national highways.
    • The project will connect Badrinath Dham, Kedarnath Dham, Gangotri, Yamunotri, and part of the route leading to Kailash Mansarovar yatra.

Verifying, please be patient.
