Gauhati High Court orders NHIDCL to report on NH-29 infrastructure progress
What happened
The Gauhati High Court Kohima Bench directed National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited to submit updated status reports on maintenance works and slope protection on National Highway-29 (NH-29). The Court also ordered NHIDCL to complete Ministry approvals and tendering for slope protection across three packages within two months. This directive was issued because the working season is limited before the rainy season begins in April 2027.

Why it matters
The court's directive puts pressure on National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited to accelerate the execution of the Dimapur–Kohima project. Delays in completing slope protection and maintenance works could hamper the execution of the highway once the rainy season starts.
The Gauhati High Court is currently monitoring the status of the NH-29 Dimapur–Kohima infrastructure project.
