Awaiting ADB grant for Bhutan
Already delayed by three months, the Panbang-Nganglam highway project is expected to be delayed further without details of compensation to affected landholders along the proposed highway. Project coordinator Tenzin Jamtsho for roads department said although tendering and notification of work award was already issued, the contractor could not begin the work until landowners of affected areas were compensated. We've to send proof of compensation to Asian Development Bank that is providing the grant before they can release any, he said. We've yet to receive compensation status from the dungkhag. He said the schedule for the project itself was also tight because along with the 55km Panbang-Nganglam highway, they were working on four other road construction works spread across the country. The initial work should have begun three months back, he said. But because of numerous formalities we couldn't start. The work initially was supposed to start from March this year. It was impossible with other road constructions going on simultaneously, Tenzin Jamtsho said.
