The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has urged the State Government to give land for free for building National Highways as the district Collectors are asking it to deposit funds before handing over Government land. NHAI Chairman Yudhvir Singh Malik requested the State Government to reconsider its decision to demand cost of the land for building NHs. Malik, while appreciating the State Government for handing over land in the Talcher-Dubri-Chandikhole stretch of National Highway 200/23 for improvement, requested State to review its order to demand deposits for acquisition land in other cases. The Odisha Government in the Department of Revenue and Disaster Management has issued orders in this regards and had asked the district Collectors to collect deposits from the NHAI before handing over the Government land. The NHAI is saying that by setting up the National Highways in the State, the social and economic benefits accrue to a community once transportation networks between towns and cities are strengthened. Tramaine Brock Womens Jersey
