(4) REASONS FOR DELAY :

Forest Clearance (Approval for Diversion of Protected Forest )
The execution of work was also got delayed due to delay in approval for diversion of protected
forest land for development of highway by the Ministry of Environment and Forest. The final
approval for cutting of protected forest trees and diversion of forest land has been received only on
28 December 2012 (272 Days after Appointed Date). The land for 63.9 Km of length was made
available for execution of work in the month of May 2013 after cutting of protected trees by the
State Forest department.

Handing over of Land
There is considerable delay in handing over of land due to delay in acquisition of land. At the time of
appointed date only 10.5 Km length of project highway was made available. As on today 99.5 Km
length of the project alignment is available for execution of work whereas 90% time of construction
has already over. Delay in handing over of land is mainly due to:
3
i)
Delay in handing over of land in Pedhla village as the Arbitration has been invoke to decide
the rate for compensation of land being acquired. Due to arbitration in Pedhla village the land
acquisition process of surrounding villages like Navagadh, Jetalsar, NaviSankli and
JuniSankli was also put on hold by CALA Rajkot which has affected the execution of work
between Ch. 0+000 to 11+120.
ii)
Land owners of 6 villages between ch. 99+580 to 110+500 (Simar, Shukhpur, Dari, Supasi,
sidokar and Kindarav) has filed Special Civil Application bearing no. 9269 of 2012 against
land acquisition.
iii)
Keshod Bypass :
Alignment proposed under CA has been strongly objected by the land owners of villages
(Movana, Keshod and Kevadra) falling under Keshod bypass as land was to be acquired
only one side of already available land acquired by PWD earlier but road was not
constructed. People requested to acquire equal width of land on both side of the available
ROW of 30 mtr. The NHAI has to take the decision for revision in alignment. The revision in
alignment further leads to revision in land requirement on either side of the earlier available
land thus need modification in land acquisition. The land for service roads and other project
facilities are not available even as on today and the land acquisition process is partially under
3D publication and partially 3G Approval stage. The affected length due to above is 8.4 Km
between ch. 63+600 to 72+000.
iv)
Junagadh Bypass :
Land for construction of Junagadh Bypass is still not acquired which is causing delay in
execution of project Highway. Chorological development of land acquisition process in
Junagadh Bypass is given below :The Four laning of Jetpur – Somnath section of NH 8D from km. 0/00 to km. 127/00 has been
taken up under NHDP Phase III. The NH 8D is passing through 2 nos. of Dist. namely Rajkot (from km.
0/00 to km. 12/900) &Junagadh (from km. 12/900 to km. 127/00).The feasibility study has been
conducted by Independent Technical Consultant M/s. LEA Associates South Asia Pvt. Ltd. The
Consultant submitted final feasibility report in November 2009 & as part of Scope of Feasibility Study,
initiated process of clearances in year 2009 – 10. As per the provision of MOEF notification S. O. 1533
Dt. 14.9.2006. The public hearing was conducted on 15.12.2009 for Rajkot Dist. at Village Jetalsar & on
Dt. 05.01.2010 for Junagadh Dist. at Shamaldas Town Hall, Junagadh.

Initially as per the final feasibility report the consultant proposed partial realignment of
existing Junagadh bypass section along with construction of missing link. As per the
feasibility report realignment was proposed from km. 34.05 to km. 43.05 of NH 8D. The
proposal was presented before the affected people as part of presentation made in public
hearing Dt. 5.1.2010 at Junagadh by NHAI. The Public present protested the proposal during
4
public hearing & by the way of representation submitted at various levels subsequently, as
Chairman the Collector Junagadh also insisted “In the best interest of development of
Junagadh City the Junagadh Bypass shall be planned away from the existing bypass”.
Accordingly, the consultant studied more options for new alignment of Junagadh Bypass &
proposed the present alignment under consideration through above villages on. 05.02.2010.
The Competent Authority NHAI has approved present alignment which is passing through
Vadal, Sukhpur, Saragwada, Virpur, Galiyawada, Wadhavi, Taliyadhar, Nadarkhi, Koyali and
Shapur on 06.02.2010. Accordingly Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (Highway
section) accord final approval for Jetpur – Somnath road NH 8D km. 0/000 to km. 127.600
under NHDP phase –III in the DBFO pattern on BOT (Toll) basis on 24.06.2010 with actual
length 123.45 km and cost Rs. 1141.97 Cr.Agreement is signed with the concessionaire on Dt.
07.02.2011 and work started by the concessionaire after fixing of appointment date on Dt.
31.3.2012.
On publication of notification under section 3 (A) for land acquisition under NH Act 1956 for
above Junagadh bypass alignment vide notification S. O. 2594 (E) Dt. 19.10.2010 & the affected people
of village Saragwada& others filed a Special Civil Application before Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat
vide SCA 10826 of 2011 and by Khedut Hit RakshakSamiti led by Sh. ATUL G. Sekhada vide SCA
14237 of 2011 with High Court. Hon’ble High Court issued orders in this regards on Dt. 29.12.2011, Dt.
1.3.2012 and 23.1.2012 respectively & observed that :

The Petitioner have failed to establish that the decision of changing the alignment of bypass
is mala fide & taken at the instance of local leaders & therefore said contention is hereby
negative.

Therefore, it is hold that the authorities have rightly finalize option no. 2 for construction of
bypass.

Authorities have failed in following the directions issued in the aforesaid notification Dt.
14.9.2006 issued by MOEF, GOI.

The authorities have not followed the mandatory provisions of section 3(A) (3) of NH Act
1956 while issuing notification Dt.19.10.2010.
As resultant, (1) The notification under 3 (A) of NH Act 1956 published vide S. O. 2594 Dt.
19.10.2010 was quashed & set aside along with subsequent procedures under taken in this regard. (2)
The Public Hearing as per the provision of said MOEF Notification shall be held for the villages
included in the notification above (1).
5
As per the notification of MOEF the public hearing shall be held by State Pollution Control
Board i.e. Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB).
The Public Hearing :
As per the provisions of Notification the advertisement for public hearing was published in 2
leading news papers (One Gujarati & one English ) on Dt. 25.5.2012. The location of public hearing i.e.
Village Koyali Tal. : Vanthali Dist. Junagadh was selected by GPCB All the arrangements were made
by NHAI on directive of GPCB.
The public hearing was attended by more than 800 people (however the attendance register was
signed by 285 persons) of Vadal, Sukhpur, Saragwada, Virpur, Galiyawada, Wadhavi, Taliyadhar,
Nadarkhi, Koyali and Shapur falling on proposed Junagadh bypass alignment & conducted under the
Chairmanship of the Resident Addl. Collector Sh. A. V. Vadher, Dist. Junagadh. All the procedures in
this regards were completed by NHAI & GPCB as per the provisions of respective notification.
Summarily, a very strong oppose from most of the people present during public hearing objected
the presently approved alignment of Junagadh Bypass which is passing through Vadal, Sukhpur,
Saragwada, Virpur, Galiyawada, Wadhavi, Taliyadhar, Nadarkhi, Koyali and Shapur. The strong
opinion was expressed for widening & four laning of existing bypass only. (The Copy of Minutes of
Meeting & public hearing proceeding is submitted to the Director (IAA – Division) MOEF New Delhi
by GPCB Gandhinagar vide letter Dt. 24.6.2010.
As per the procedure the Videography & Photography of entire proceeding was made &
uploaded to the website of GPCB. The 44 nos. of representation received in public hearing were also
replied by NHAI individually through GPCB. All the procedures were documented in Gujarati &
English both languages. The report regarding Junagadh bypass alignment is submitted to the Director
(IA-III) MOEF, New Delhi on date 23.2.2013 after conducting public hearing at Koyali on Dt.
26.6.2012 and decision taken by NHAI HQ on Dt. 19.2.2013.
Conclusion, Opinion & Comments of PIU :

The NHAI has followed directive of Hon’ble High Court orders & completed the procedure of
public hearing as per the MOEF, GOI Notification Dt. 14.9.2006.

The Competent Authority NHAI has approved present alignment passing through Vadal,
Sukhpur, Saragwada, Virpur, Galiyawada, Wadhavi, Taliyadhar, Nadarkhi, Koyali and
Shapur on Dt. 19.2.2007 &Hon’ble High Court has conferred the decision of NHAI.


The project has been accorded Environment clearance / CRZ clearance vide MOEF, F. No.
10-60/2009-IA.III Dt. 29.9.2010. The EC issued on the basis of presentation made before
High level committee of MOEF which was based on present approved alignment of Junagadh
Bypass only.

As per the present demand on widening of existing bypass instead of following proposed
approved alignment for Junagadh bypass the feasibility study consultant initially pointed out
limitations of widening of existing bypass in main feasibility report para 8.4.1 pg. 8 – 6, 8-7 &
8-8 – briefly as below
a) Widening of existing carriageway (existing bypass) requires acquisition of land (30 mtr.
wide addl. land), properties & it would call for shifting utility lines.
b) It would require 1 no. of new four lane ROB across the JunagadhKoyali Railway line at
km. 35.200 & addl. 2 lane ROB adjacent to the existing 2 lane ROB across the Koyali –
Shapur Railway line near km. 42.100.
c) Major junction improvement would be required at km. 36.500 (popularly known as
Timbawadi, with very congested development all around).
d) To facilitate traffic moving towards Junagadh City it would required service road of width
of 7 mtr for not less than 3.5 km.
e) As per comparison made vide Table 8 -3 the option of adopting widening of existing
bypass may affect 3094 nos. of Pakka Structures & 1875 Sqm. of compound wall. In
addition to that four nos. of cultural properties are also been affected.

Opinion has already been taken from M/s Lea Associates South Asia Pvt. Ltd dtd 19/9/2012.

Considering demerits mentioned by feasibility consultant, the constraints of acquisition of
land & the addl. cost of construction of 2 nos. of ROBs the widening of existing bypass
seems to be less viable option.

As per public opinion expressed strongly during public hearing Dt. 26.6.2012 the alignment
passing through Vadal, Sukhpur, Saragwada, Virpur, Galiyawada, Wadhavi, Taliyadhar,
Nadarkhi, Koyali, and Shapur finalized by NHAI is not acceptable to people & broadly the
demand is to widen existing bypass only.

NHAI HQ on Date 19.2.2013 informed that the Junagadh bypass shall be constructed along
the alignment defined in the Concession agreement and not along existing bypass keeping the
considered view of the Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat that NHAI has rightly finalized the
alignment technically most viable option as per technical consultant, opinion of the Junagadh
Collector during feasibility stage & social consideration.
7

The notification of Junagadh bypass 3(A) S O No. 1879 Dt.17.8.2012 and 3 (D) SO No.
2390, 2391 & 2392 Dt. 6.8.2013 are published in Gazette of India respectively.

The award of land acquisition is in process at level of Competent Authority Land
Acquisition, Junagadh.

The facts submitted in Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat are based on the report of Consultant
Dt. 5.2.2010 and NHAI HQ note sheet Dt. 6.2.2010. The increase in total cost of work has
been taken from these letters.

The alignment is finalized by the technical consultant appointed for this work and as per para
1.3.3 Conclusion of Alignment option study report on Junagadh bypass which is as under :
“It can be noted from the above comparative tables that option 3 on right hand side of
existing road has maximum advantages for construction of bypass. Any other option towards
left side or right side of the proposed alignment will lead to either
1) Bring the road nearer to the urban sprawl;
2) Increase the length of the bypass which will in turn increase the acquisition of more land;
3) Construction of more bridges on the stream at right side of the proposed alignment;
Due to above mentioned clarification the alignment adopted is actually the optimum
possible alignment of the Junagadh bypass. Hence it is recommended for the project.” So
this is a most feasible alignment.

Various options are shown on various maps are only indicative and option number was
depends upon the no. of proposal alignments on the subject map.

There is no confusion with regard to proposal alignment for which public hearing conducted
at Junagadh on Dt. 5/1/2010 and Dt. 26/6/2012 at Koyali. The land acquisition notification of
3 (A) in gazette of India is the main record by which public knows about the alignment in
question. On 3 (A) notification Dt. 19.10.2010 publication Khedut Hit RakshakSamiti led by
Sh. Atul G. Sekhada went in to Hon’ble Court against this alignment which is passing
through Vadal, Sukhpur, Saragwada, Virpur, Galiyawada, Wadhavi, Taliyadhar, Nadarkhi,
Koyali and Shapur (10 villages) and then court holds the alignment in favor of NHAI and
only objected for conducting public hearing of GPCB for the affected persons, accordingly
the hearing was conducted on Dt.. 26/6/2012 at Koyali for affected persons of Junagadh
bypass alignment passing thoughVadal, Sukhpur, Saragwada, Virpur, Galiyawada, Wadhavi,
Taliyadhar, Nadarkhi, Koyali and Shapur and in such large nos. people attended hearing so
there is no confusion of alignment. Even people objected this alignment and asked to follow
existing Junagadh bypass for widening which is on record. So it is amply clear that people
are very well knowing about the alignment for which hearing is conducted.
8

The work of Junagadh bypass is not started because of strong opposition of people of 10
villages Vadal, Sukhpur, Saragwada, Virpur, Galiyawada, Wadhavi, Taliyadhar, Nadarkhi,
Koyali and Shapur falling on the alignment.

The concessionaire started work on Jetpur – Somnath road on Dt. 31.3.2012 and the work
completion date is 27.9.2014.

There is PIL filed by Khedut Hit Rakshaksamiti led by Sh. Atul G. Sekhada No. 283 of 2013
against the alignment of Junagadh bypass and procedure followed for land acquisition by
CALA Junagadh which is pending with Hon’ble High Court. The Collector Junagadh and
Competent Authority for land acquisition were hesitant for passing the awards for
compensation of land acquisition of 10 nos. Villages. An early hearing application was filed
before the Hon’ble High Court which was disposed off by the Court giving directions to
Competent Authority to submit the reply before the next date. The next date of hearing is
03.07.2014. The CALA Junagadh has issued 3 (G) hearing dates for 2 villages again as
11th July 2014. In fact during the earlier hearing of 3 (G) none of the land owners appeared
before the CALA Junagadh.


The affected length due to above is 19.8 Km between ch. 20+850 to 40+650.
v)
Due to creation of New Dist. Of Gir Somnath on 15.8.2013 the Competent Authority
Junagadh refused to work for New Dist. There is considerable time was required for
appointment of new Competent Authority for new Dist. Gir Somnath.
vi)
The post of Competent Authorities at Rajkot & Junagadh was remained vacant for almost all
the time and the additional charge was given to other officers who were already holding
additional charge of many offices. It was not possible for the Competent Authority to spare
sufficient time for land acquisition work.
vii)
Due to General elections of State of Gujarat & Central Govt. the land acquisition process was
badly hampered during the period of Elections procedure.
viii)
There was no Secretary level meeting conducted by the State of Gujarat to expedite the
process of land acquisition.
ix)
There is considerable delay in handing over of land between Ch. 9+000 to 35+000 as the
issue of getting clearance from National Board of wild life (NBWL) has been raised by the
Deputy Forest Conservative. The executions of work are being put on hold in above stretch
of 26 Km till the clarity on the issue.
Utility Shifting
i)
A dispute has arisen between NHAI and PGVCL in respect of shifting of electric overhead
line with the underground cable crossing.PGVCL has submitted their estimate for shifting of
existing overhead electric line crossings with the underground cable crossing considering the
safety of the road user and as per the IRC guideline. But keeping the work as an up-gradation
9
of the existing utility the estimate could only be approved by the NHAI in November 2013.
Till approval of the above estimates PGVCL has not allowed shifting of parallel electric lines
also this resulted in to delay in execution of works.
(ii)
(5)
Delay in relocation / raising of HT lines by GETCO
Shifting of HT GETCO line done in 2013.
Present Issues
1) Land Acquisition:i) Handing over of land for construction of Junagadh Bypass – The bypass stretch of 19.8 Km
length is still not handed over for execution of works. At present land acquisition process is held
up due to PIL filed by land owners in High Court. As The Court also clarified that pendency of
the petition shall not come in the way of the Competent Authority(LAO) in proceeding with
determination of compensation under Section 3G of the Act, it is required to acquire the land at
the earliest.
ii) Land at Supasi & Patan villages–The land acquisition in these 2 villages is still pending due to
local resistance in Supasi village and non availability of revenue records of Patan village. Fresh
3D has been prepared and submitted for approval and publication by the authority. Also there is a
problem of land ownership in Supasi Gramtal area and Arbitrator has been appointed to resolve
the issue. Approximate 2.5 Km length of the highway is affected due to above problem.
iii)Toll Plaza additional land beyond 60 meter ROW – Additional land beyond 60 meter RoW is
required at toll plaza locations to provide all the facilities as per the CA. At present the 3D
publication is under approval at NHAI – HQ level for Toll Plaza 1 and 3G award is under
preparation by the LAO for Toll plaza 2.
iv) Land Constraints near Somnath Temple (Km. 121+800 to 122+702) – The land and property
scheduled for acquisition in above stretches belongs to Somnath Temple Trust. Part of the said
land and property is sub-judice under the Hon’ble High Court to decide the ownership between
the Somnath Trust and the some of the claimant. The Somnath Trust has also developed some
facilities both side of the existing carriageway for the ease of pilgrims visiting Somnath Temple.
In view of above it is very difficult to acquire the land in above stretch. The concessionaire has
proposed to construct the main carriageway in the above stretch as per the present site condition
and omit the provision of service road and drain from the above stretch.
v) Land at Veraval Re-alignment under High Court case (SCA 13477 of 2012) - About 83 mtrs
of Land Acquisition is held up due to the land owner filed a case in High Court.
vi) Railway Building at Vanthali village Ch. 43+080 (30 Meter) – 30 meter length of stretch near
Vanthali village belongs to railway. The railway track had been uprooted long back after heavy
flood in the area (year 1989). The abandoned building of railway need to be demolished and land
acquired from the railway department. Initially railway has refused to hand over the land as there
is a proposal for reinstatement of the railway track and proposed for construction of ROB under
10
deposit work. Construction of ROB will also require construction of service road & extension of
Minor Bridge at ch. 43+436. For which also railway land need to be acquired. Presently four lane
carriageway is constructed at this location.
2) Existing Road Maintenance:i) Approval of estimates for Major maintenance of the existing road – Routine Maintenance of
existing road has been carried out by the Concessionaire as per Concession agreement. Due to
non availability of land of Junagadh bypass traffic is moving on the existing two lane road. The
condition of the road is not good because of heavy rains during last year and the last overlay was
done by PWD Dept. nearly 7 years back. The land for Junagadh bypass will be made available in
next 3 months depending upon the decision by the Hon’ble High Court and compensation award
by CALA Junagadh and then nearly one year will be required for construction of the Junagadh
bypass which will further deteriorate the condition of the existing road so it is required the
approval of Major Maintenance of existing road. The amount of proposed over lay work is Rs.
17.88 Cr.
3) Change of Scope:i) Reconstruction of Major / Minor Bridges- In-Principle approval has been accorded with the
condition to finalize the cost of re-habilitation by a committee of 3 CGMs as directed by
Executive Committee, NHAI. Cost of rehabilitation is required to be finalised at the earliest.
ii) Relocation of PUP from design Ch. 20+000 to 19+850 - Locals are demanding to re-locate the
proposed PUP since the crossing is originally at 19+850. But IE has not agreed for the local’s
demand of relocation. NHAI’s intervention is required in this regard as the work for a length of
600 meter is suspended by the locals.
iii) Deletion of PUP at design Ch. 119+900 – Locals are resisting construction of PUP @ 119+900
as it will have commercial impact for the locals. IE has visited the site and recommended for its
deletion. IE has recommended the deletion of the PUP and the proposal is under process of
approval.
iv) Relocation of PUP at Supasi village – from design Ch.106+100 to Ch.105+700 - Locals are
demanding to re-locate the proposed PUP since the crossing is originally at 105+700. NHAI’s
and IE’s decision is required in this regard.
4) Extension of Time:The Concessionaire has requested the extension of time for 6 months i.e. upto March 2015. The
IE has also recommended the proposal of EOT looking to the reasons like delay in cutting of
trees, delay in diversion of land from MOEF, delay in land acquisition, delay in shifting of
utilities by PGVCL and GETCO and heavy rainfall in project area during year 2013. The matter
was placed before executive committee on 8 Oct 13 and the minutes were received through RO
office in Dec 13. EC has asked RO and IE to do the following.
11
“Work out extension required for individual milestones based on current status of LA and
recommend the same to NHAI through IE & the Final extension for completion of SPCD
should be reviewed at the time of actual completion.”
