NHAI's Rs 371 crore flyover to bypass sinking NH44 stretch

NHAI (National Highways Authority of India) is building a 2.200-kilometre-long Dhalwas NH44 flyover at a cost of Rs 371 crore that will bypass the sinking stretch in Ramban, officials said.

According to the Project Director, NHAI, Purshottam Kumar Phonsa, the flyover is being constructed to pass the steadily sinking area. The sliding hill slope above NH44 along the stretch is also being strengthened through rock bolting and coir matting.

In Ramban, in a massive landslide on 28 March, 2020, at Dhalwas, 37 houses were damaged and about 400 Kanal land of villagers had sunken. A big stretch of NH44 below it had also been damaged, and it has been steadily sinking since then.
