*Will save Rs. 5 to 6 lacs per kilometer: Experts


To ensure durability and check early damages caused to the roads, particularly, in snow prone areas of the state, Soil Stablization Method on the pattern of European technology would be introduced for macadamizing roads, which would not only increase life cycle of the roads but also save Rs. 5 to 6 lacs per Km aproximately.

This information was given to the Minister for R&B, G.M Saroori while inspecting Hunjak-Durbal link road near Diyar Kadal in Budgam district where the technology has been first time applied on experimental basis.

Minister of State for R&B, Javaid Ahmad Dar, Commissioner Secretary, R&B, Mehboob Iqbal, and senior engineers of R&B Department were present on the occasion.

Saroori said that the technology would create new avenues for the engineering sector, adding that money thus saved would be utilized for creation of other infrastructure facilities.

“I am hopeful for good and positive results, once the technology is tested successfully, it would save several crore rupees which could be diverted to other developmental projects” Saroori added. He asked the engineers to monitor this road and prepare its feedback regularly particularly during the post snow period.

The Minister said that snow is causing major damage to the roads, adding that the road damage could be checked to a large extent by adopting this technology.
