An amount of Rs. 3.63 crore was sanctioned in 2000 for land acquisition for this bypass. Necessary land acquisition has been completed in March, 2002 and shifting of utilities such as shifting of High Tension (HT)/Low Tension (LT) lines by the State Government is pending. The delay has been due to the modification in the alignment.
