The 42-kilometer long 14 Kosi Parikrama Marg is being transformed into a four-lane road at a massive cost of approximately 1140 crore rupees. According to the Public Works Department, 85 percent of the project work has been successfully completed, and the remaining construction is targeted for completion before Deepotsav.
To ensure convenience and cleanliness for the 30 lakh annual devotees, the route is being equipped with modern toilets, water kiosks, tin sheds, and benches. Additionally, wide footpaths, safety railings, and theme-based lights commemorating Lord Ram are being installed.
The construction work has faced delays primarily due to processes related to land acquisition, compensation distribution, and displacement. Reaching a consensus in densely populated areas and fulfilling required legal procedures have taken additional time for the administration.
