Requested Khasara maps for transfer of proposed alignment corridors on Khasara map of each affected village

 During the meeting held with Tehsildar of Shahpura, Kotputli and Behror, it was informed that the Khasara maps of each village will be provided against the payment of each khasara falling in each village map. At this stage of work, the consultant requires the copy of the revenue map only for transfer of alignment corridor on the khasara maps. The Project Director, NHAI, PIU, Jaipur is requested to help in this matter in obtaining Khasara maps at a nominal fee for desk study purposes, because unless otherwise without transferring proposed alignment corridor on the Khasara maps, affected khasaras will not be identified. For the affected khasaras required for preparation of 3D Gazette notification informations, the payment would be made for each affected khasaras accordingly. 3.5          Way Forward Presentation of proposed alignment corridor options at NHAI (HQ) and subsequent approval of alignment corridors shall enable the Consultant to proceed further for design and preparation of Quality Report and submission of various submittals. 3.6          Reasons for Delay, if any The project progress was hampered due to the following reasons: i)      Road alignment study was hampered due to rainy season and sowing of crops.ii)     Remaining field study could not be completed due to pending harvesting of crops.iii)    The important activity of traffic study was not completed during September-October months due to important festival seasons which would affect the normal traffic by the induced traffic due to festival seasons. 3.7          Project Report Submission
