Govt launches quality audit of National Highways

The road transport ministry has taken a first-of-its kind step to carry out audit of construction quality and safety aspects of completed and under-construction stretches. The ministry has appointed six independent experts to examine different stretches of the flagship Char Dham road project in Uttarakhand. Officials said this system would be institutionalised for the highway sector to ensure that the road projects are at par with the quality parameters set by the government.
