The GO stated that the road will be selected based on traffic intensity and connectivity such that it connects the district headquarters and taluk headquarters. “If there is land acquisition, shifting of utilities, tree-cutting involved in the proposal, work will be taken up only after completing them. Sufficient availability of work front will be ensured before entrusting the work,” it said, adding that if there is any bed level causeway in the proposed stretch, it will be converted to a high-level bridge.
