[mpisgmedia] JnNURM: BoT tunnel to Manali

Manali to become closer to the northern plains

The Himachal Pradesh government's plan to allow
private builders to construct a tunnel through the
Himalayas will make it easier for travellers from the
northern plains to access the popular resort town of
Manali. Officials here said D.S. Constructions, a
Delhi-based firm, was keen to carry out the major
tunnel project, estimated to cost around Rs.7 billion,
on a build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis.
... ...
D.S. Constructions reportedly has expertise in
tunnelling, railway, power and urban development, and
is currently building the Delhi-Gurgaon flyover.
Referring to the plan to build three tunnels in
Shimla, which is often plagued by traffic jams,
officials said the required funds will be easily
available to the state government as the capital is in
the list of 63 cities included in the National Urban
Renewal Mission launched by the central government.
