Reasons for delay in execution of work: -

(A) Technical reasons:

(i) The main reason for the delay in the project is the slow pace of tunneling specially in tunnel nos 7 & tunnel 10. The tunneling operation is slow due to geological surprises such as squeezing nature of soil strata, loose strata resulting in cavities & chimney formation as well as presence of methane in the tunnels making welding & gas cutting work hazardous. (ii) Road conditions are generally poor in the NC Hills due to which transportation of construction materials is time consuming and costly.

(B) Land acquisition problems :

1. 3.6 hectare of forest land has to be deserved in the NC Hills District. Matter is under correspondence since 2008 with the Forest authorities but final approval is yet to be achieved. Superstructure of bridge no.127 and ROB no129 are still to be constructed.

2. (a) Land acquisition of 2.53 hectares at Bhanga, and 0.29 hectares between Dharmanagar & Nadiapur under Dharmanagar district of Tripura state are required to be expedited for handing over to Railway.

(b) For Karimganj-Moishasan under Karimganj Dist. of Assam 8.3 hector land is required to be handed over. For Baraigram-Dullabhchera – under Karimganj Dist. of Assam, Joint verification for land acquisition to be expedited.

(C) (i) Law and order situation in N. C. Hills is poor with kidnapping of contractors engineers & workers occurring at frequent intervals and non availability of labour and supervisors in N.C. hills areas.

(ii) Frequent bandhs and resultant work stoppages in Dima Hasao district of Assam affect progress of work. About 7 working days were lost in September 2012 due to Bandhs and curfew in Haflong area. (D) Allotment of funds to this project was initially very less due to which long lead items like tunnels could not be taken up. Fund allotment picked up only after 2004 when this project was declared as a National Project. In 2006-09 the project was hit by severe insurgency in the NC Hills in which a number of railway personnel were also killed.
