Hooda for speedy action against toll plaza operator

Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today asked the Road Transport Ministry and NHAI to expedite action against the concessionaire for repeated defaults and harassment of commuters to help in removing toll plazas in Gurgaon.
At a meeting between Hooda and Road Transport Minister Oscar Fernandes, it was decided that NHAI and the Ministry will request the Attorney General to appear on behalf of the Central government to persuade the Delhi High Court to vacate the stay order against the termination of the agreement ordered by NHAI.
The two also discussed the problem of traffic congestion at the Hero Honda Chowk, Gurgaon and the commuters' woes and evolve ways to ease traffic congestion.

On the toll plaza issue, Hooda said Haryana government has already requested for impleading it as a party for allowing the termination of the Concessionaire Agreement.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and NHAI are examining the civil and other aspects of the violations by the Concessionaire while withdrawing copious amounts of money from Escrow account illegally.
Fernandes directed the Director General of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways K Kandaswami to soon finalise the functioning model and Request For Qualification (RFQ) documents of the clover leaf flyover at the Hero Honda Chowk.

It was also decided to install a traffic light system and allow traffic movement on both sides of the roads and the crossing.

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) was also instructed to immediately repair and construct the service roads.
It was also decided to construct a drain along the sides of the service roads, for which the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon will provide funds and the NHAI will directly supervise the work.
The Member Administration of NHAI, the Deputy Commissioner Gurgaon, Commissioner Corporation and Joint Commissioner of Traffic Police will ensure that the work is carried out in the shortest possible time.
