Er Ajay Kapoor, presently Chief Engineer, Head Office, HPPWD, Shimla, is transferred and appointed as Chief Engineer – National Highways, HPPWD, Shimla.
The Himachal Pradesh Public Works Department (HP PWD) serves as a vital implementing and coordinating agency for the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) concerning National Highways within the state. While the NHAI holds ownership and oversees development, it frequently relies on HP PWD’s local expertise and administrative framework. A key role for HP PWD is assisting with the often complex process of land acquisition, including identification, surveys, and negotiations. In certain instances, particularly for initial upgrades, HP PWD may prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs). Furthermore, the NHAI can entrust HP PWD with project implementation on a deposit work basis. Although long-term maintenance rests with the NHAI, HP PWD may handle initial repairs and provide assistance during emergencies. Crucially, HP PWD acts as a liaison between the NHAI, local authorities, utility providers, and the public, facilitating clearances and resolving issues. The department also offers technical expertise and manpower support, making their collaboration essential for the development and maintenance of Himachal Pradesh’s National Highway network.
