Question : CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE OVER LOHIT AND KHABOLU RIVER



(a) whether NEC has completed its examination of the projects relating to construction of bridge over Lohit and Khabolu river alongwith its connecting road and strengthening of the Lakhimpur College of Veterinary Science in Assam; and

(b) if so, the details and present status of the projects?

Answer given by the minister


MINISTER, MINISTRY OF DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH EASTERN REGION (SHRI P.R. KYNDIAH)

(a): No, Sir. The DPR for the Bridge over LoTiit and Khabolu river alongwith its connecting roads has not yet been received by the NEC from the Government of Assam. The project `Strengthening of Lakhimpur College of Veterinary Science` in Assam requires SFC approval. NEC has, therefore, requested the Government of Assam to submit the DPR together with the requisite SFC Memo which is awaited.

(b): Does not arise in view of (a) above.
