I had noticed earthwork going on for doubling works on BZA-GDV-BVRT section. The maximum progress is between KKLR-AKVD where levelling is also done. The whole process may take 24 months from now. Consolidation work near KKLR towards GDV.
I haven't seen any earthworks in BVRT-NDD section. Has anyone seen it there?
