  1. NHAI Gears Up For The Grand Chennai-Salem Greenfield Highway Project The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), the autonomous agency of the Government of India, is working in full pace to start the work of the ambitious 277 km Chennai-Salem greenfield highway project. The grand highway is being constructed under the Bharatmala Pariyojana scheme and NHAI is working as the implementing agency for the project and also handles the publishing of notifications for land recovery, etc. In a recent notification, the NHAI has released details of the villages and land areas via which the road would be built in the Tiruvannamalai district. The Chennai-Salem highway is a Rs 10,000 crore project designed for the top speed of 120 km per hour. This hi-end highway will cut across almost 159 villages in Kancheepuram, Tiruvannamalai, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri and Salem districts. The highway will be named as NH 179A and 179B. The highway project, which is all set to change the face of Chennai-Salem connectivity, is going to be constructed in the total of 1,900 hectares of land. This land area includes around 400 hectares of government forest ranges in Tiruvannamalai and Kancheepuram districts, which has already been sanctioned for the project. The major portion of the land is being acquired in the Tiruvannamalai district where the highway will pass through 74 villages, providing them quick connectivity to urban India. According to the notification released by the NHAI, a total of 1,306 hectares of land, which also includes the government’s forest lands, is being acquired the Chetpet, Chengam, Vandavasi, Cheyyar, Polur and Tiruvannamalai taluks of Tiruvannamalai district. As per the government records, this land area belongs to around 7,237 people of the given locality. The government is ready to provide three times of the land value for the acquired land to the farmers as the compensation. The deals are yet to be finalised. Currently, there is a conflict between the farmers-land owners and the government officials regarding the accusation of the land for which the NHAI along with the State and Central government is working to resolve the issue. These notifications were published under the section 3 A (Power to acquire land) of the National Highways Act 1956. The government officials have stated that all the accusations are being done as per the standard procedure and Act. The ambitious project is all set to create an example of the future of Indian roads and highways. According to the detailed project report (DPR), the width of the project will be 90 meters and it will cover the length of 277km between Chennai and Salem. After the completion, the project will also help all the units that come under the defence industrial corridor, which connects Chennai, Tiruchi, Salem, Coimbatore and Bengaluru. Various
