Contractors in Haryana have asked the state government to extend the completion deadline for several pending road projects to 31 March, citing ongoing delays.
A group of contractors working on state‑run road projects in Haryana have formally requested the government to push back the deadline for completing the pending works to 31 March. The appeal was submitted to the state’s Public Works Department, which oversees the execution of highway and district road schemes.
The contractors say that a combination of logistical setbacks and resource constraints has slowed progress, making the original timelines unrealistic. They argue that an extension would allow them to finish the work without compromising quality or safety standards.
If granted, the extension could reshape the schedule for several multi‑crore‑rupee projects slated for completion this fiscal year, potentially affecting budget allocations and the timing of road openings for commuters.
The state government has not yet issued a response, and officials are expected to review the request in the coming days.
