Missing Land Records Delay Four-Laning of NH-503 in Nangal Subdivision
The four-laning project of National Highway 503 between Kiratpur Sahib and Nangal, approved last year by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and NHAI, faces delays due to missing revenue records of 14 villages in the Nangal subdivision. Land acquisition notifications for other villages are being considered, pending NHAI approval. Officials, including Nangal SDM Sachin Pathak, acknowledge the issue and efforts to resolve it. The delay also impacts other projects like the proposed Judicial Court Complex at Nangal.
