This achievement is very important for the country’s first RRTS network considering the recent outbreak of Covid-19 and the lockdown conditions in the country. This has been possible only due to the relaxation provided by the government and all support by different stakeholders.
NCRTC is following all guidelines given by the government and abiding the appeal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide all the support to its staff, labourers and contractors and took complete care of their health, safety, and security. Regular distribution of masks, sanitizers, soaps with regular health check-ups were insured with the implementation of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for all the construction works.
The work for the 17 km long priority section between Sahibabad and Duhai is in progress and soon superstructures will be visible on the already casted piers of the section. Starting of the assembly of segment launcher signifies NCRTC’s efforts to complete the project on time within sanctioned cost.
