NH construction in Himachal on track; state govt failed to use funds: Nadda
The construction of three out of four National Highways is in an advanced stage in Himachal Pradesh and major works would be completed in the next two years, Union Health Minister J P Nadda said in Bilaspur on Saturday. About 2,593 km long, four National Highways are being constructed in the state at an estimated cost of about Rs 38,000 crore. Addressing reporters, Nadda also lashed out at the state government for not utilising the funds allocated by the Union government. "The construction of three NHs is in an advanced stage and major works would be completed in 2026 and 2027 while the project for which Detailed Project Report (DPR) is under preparation would be completed in 2028", he said. Barring the Shimla-Mator National Highway for which preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) is underway and completion is slated for 2028, the Parwanoo-Shimla, Kiratpur-Manali and Pathankot-Mandi National Highways would be completed in 2026 and 2027, he added. Nadda raised the issue of the state government treating the construction of roads at par with industries, mandating no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Pollution Control Board every year which delays the work and argued that setting of crushers and burning of charcoal for metalling is temporary and stops after the works are completed. "Union Transport and Highways minister Nitin Gadkari has already discussed the issue with the state government and I will also take up the matter with chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu", Nadda said and also cautioned that if the 'dredging' of River Beas, which is responsibility of the state government was not done, the Highways constructed by the NHAI would suffer huge damage. When asked about the complaints by the people whose properties have been affected during construction by NHAI, Nadda said that these would be disposed of on a case-by-case basis, adding that the government was sensitive and receptive about these issues. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Friday said that large companies were often awarded contracts based solely on their machinery, but they lack understanding of the fragile hill terrain of the state. As a result, they conduct hill-cutting as per their convenience, which causes damage. He advised NHAI to consider awarding such contracts to local contractors familiar with the region. The statement came after a five-storey building and a retaining wall near Kaithlighat-Dhalli four lane in the suburbs of Shimla collapsed in the ongoing week and residents cited negligence of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) as the main reason behind the damage. Nadda said that an atmosphere is being created by the state government that the Centre was not helping the state government but in fact the state government has failed to fully utilised the central funds and pointed out that under PM Health Infra-structure mission only 21 per cent has been spent while only 24 per cent of the funds allocated by the 15the Finance Commission for health have been utilised. Nadda also referred to the projects worth crores announced by Union minister Kiran Rijiju for tribal and remote areas and said that he got the Rs 1,000 crore JICA project sanctioned from Economic Affairs ministry under which the contribution of the state government would be only Rs 149 crore and the remaining cost would be borne by the Centre. He said that the Union government stood firmly with Himachal during the natural calamities in 2023 and released Rs 1,700 crore while Rs 1,000 crore have been announced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah for losses suffered during the ongoing monsoon fury.

Work underway for 25 highways in Himachal: JP Nadda
Bilaspur: Amidst a 'rift' between the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) and the Himachal Pradesh government, BJP President Jagat Prakash Nadda on Saturday said work is going on 25 national highways in the state, whose total length is 2,592 km. Out of these, 785 km is being built by the NHAI, 1,238 km by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways MoRTH and 569 km by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), all Central government organisations. Nadda thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari for these projects. The rift between the NHAI and the state government erupted earlier this week after the alleged assault took place, following the collapse of a vacant five-story residential building that was close to the under-construction highway. The state police on July 1 registered a case against state Panchayati Raj Minister Anirudh Singh Rana and six others on charges of assaulting two NHAI officials, raising a political storm with the state opposition BJP seeking his removal from the Cabinet. Nadda, who belongs to Himachal Pradesh, told the media in his hometown, Bilaspur, that four major NHAI projects are underway in the state, and their maximum work would be completed by 2026 and 2027. He said for the four-lane Kiratpur-Manali National Highway, designed to bypass Mandi city, Rs 7,667 crore has been allocated. On this highway, 12 tunnels of 11.51 km are under construction. Likewise, for the Shimla-Mataur highway, there is an allocation of Rs 10,208 crore with the provision of 15 tunnels of a length of 13.41 km. The Pathankot-Mandi highway, with an outlay of Rs 1,088 crore, has 13 km of a total length of 10 km. Union Minister Nadda said that he would speak to Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu on issues related to the construction of the highways. He said the sanction for the Sumdo-Kaza road was received in 2024, and this work is being done by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), but the state government is still not able to give its forest clearance. For his home district, Bilaspur, Nadda said Rs 35 crore has been allocated for the Ghumarwin-Shahtalai Road, and it would be upgraded by 2026. Responding to the 'rift' between the NHAI and the state Congress government, the BJP national President said, 'What can be expected from a government in which the protectors are the predators? Himachal Pradesh is Dev Bhoomi (land of gods), and such incidents are worrying and also saddening. It has never happened before in Himachal Pradesh that a public functionary has taken the law and order into his own hands.' Nadda said an attempt is being made to create an environment in Himachal Pradesh that the Central government 'is not paying attention to Himachal. But contrary to this, the state government is unable to spend the money allocated by the Centre.' Quoting official figures, the Union Health Minister said from 2021 to 2025, a sum of Rs 360.11 crore has been provided by his ministry under the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM), out of which the state government has been able to spend only Rs 78 crore. Under this scheme, 73 block-level public health units are proposed to be built in the state, but only six have been built, while tenders have been done for 14. Eight critical care units are to be established. Likewise, the state has been allocated Rs 521 crore by the 15th Finance Commission, out of which only Rs 128.62 crore lakh has been spent. He said the Chief Minister came to meet him on May 25, and he sought funds from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) The Centre approved Rs 1,138 crore on June 30. Out of this, Rs 1,024 crore has been given as a grant-in-aid to the state, while the remaining is a loan at a low rate of interest. For natural calamities, Nadda said Prime Minister Modi has provided Rs 1,736 crore under the State Disaster Relief Fund (SDRF), Rs 1,071 crore under the National Disaster Relief Fund (NDRF) and Rs 339 crore under the State Disaster Mitigation Fund in three years to the state. Recently, the Home Minister has allocated Rs 2,006 crore under the Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Fund (PDRRF) to the state.

Punjab set to bring another legislation on sacrilege, special Assembly session likely next week
Seven years after former chief minister Amarinder Singh's government passed two Bills providing for stricter punishment against sacrilege, the Punjab government is slated to bring another legislation punishing acts of sacrilege in a two-day special session of Vidhan Sabha likely to be convened on July 10 and 11. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson Neel Garg said on Saturday that the government would bring a 'historic legislation' for stricter punishment against those guilty of sacrilege. He added, 'The Centre should have done it. However, the AAP government is bringing it in Punjab as it understands the emotions of the people of the state.' Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has already called a Cabinet meeting on Monday to summon the special session. The government's decision to bring legislation reportedly stems from a silent protest by Gurjeet Singh in Samana, who has been protesting atop an overhead water tank since October 2024. He has been demanding the death penalty for those found guilty of sacrilege. CM Mann had on Sunday announced that the state government will introduce legislation to ensure harsher punishment for acts of sacrilege against religious scriptures or holy granths (books). He made the announcement while he was chairing a meeting with officers and representatives of the Sarb Dharam Beadbi Rokko Kanoon Morcha at his official residence. Sources said that the government was concerned about Gurjeet Singh. It is learnt that Chief Secretary KAP Sinha told the CM that if something happened to Gurjeet Singh, it could create a law and order situation in the state. The issue of sacrilege at Bargari had snowballed into a major law and order situation during the SAD-BJP regime in October 2015. A source said that the government was making sure that Gurjeet Singh was being supplied food, water and other necessities atop the water tank. In the meeting, Mann had stated that Punjab is a 'sacred land' of great gurus, saints, and seers who have shown the path of 'mutual love and tolerance'. He claimed that the state government is firmly committed to ensuring 'exemplary punishment' for the perpetrators of sacrilege incidents. The government is bringing the legislation on sacrilege even as the two older Bills on sacrilege are pending with the Centre. These two Bills were passed by the Punjab Assembly in 2018, during former CM Amarinder Singh's regime. The Centre had termed Punjab's amendments to the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) to give life imprisonment to sacrilege accused as a 'harsher punishment'. Mann had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah in 2023 for getting the President's assent on the two Bills. The chief minister had stated that the government would consult leading legal experts to ensure that a robust state legislation is enacted – one that prevents offenders from evading strict consequences, including the possibility of capital punishment for such crimes. He expressed concern over 'existing legal loopholes' that allow individuals guilty of such acts to walk free, calling it completely unwarranted and unacceptable. The CM had stated that every person involved in sacrilegious acts, either directly or indirectly, will face exemplary punishment. Mann said that it is the 'bounden duty' of the state government to ensure that these 'dreaded criminals' are held accountable for their actions. He added that the state government would consult all stakeholders, including religious organisations, in drafting the legislation. The CM had highlighted that while the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provides clear provisions regarding religious places, it remains silent on holy granths. However, he said that as the subject falls under the concurrent list, the state has the authority to enact such legislation, and legal opinions will be sought accordingly. Mann had said that this process would be completed shortly to assuage the sentiments of the general public.
