THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson has called a meeting of the high- level committee to resolve the issues delaying the NH 17 and NH 47 highways’ works on September 25.
Revenue and PWD secretaries and two senior officials of National Highway Authority of India will attend the meeting.
Though the committee was announced by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy after his meeting with Union Surface Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari in Delhi on August 4, it was yet to be convened.
Due to the foreign jaunts of the CS and PWD secretary A.P. M. Mohammed Hanish, the first sitting of the committee was being delayed.
PWD officials had invited tender for the Detailed Project Report on the Rs 34, 000-crore allotment for various NH projects in the state.
The executive engineers working on the NH 17 and NH 47 stretches have tabulated a list of issues being faced which would be discussed in the meeting.
NHAI chief general manager based in Chennai, Mr. Chenna Reddy, along with project directors based in the state would be present at the meeting.
