The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed double lane widening of roads for the Chardham project in view of security concerns.
A bench headed by Justice D Y Chandrachud also set up an oversight committee to report to it directly on the project.
The oversight committee shall receive all support from the Defence Ministry, Ministry of Road Transport, Uttarakhand Government and all district magistrates.
The 900-km-long project worth Rs 12,000 crore aims to provide all-weather connectivity to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath in Uttarakhand.
The court was hearing the Centre&rsquo;s plea seeking modification of the September 8, 2020 order, which had asked the road transport ministry to follow the 2018 circular stipulating carriageway width of 5.5 metre on the road that goes up till the China border.
