According to a person in the know, the two ministries have been working together closely to resolve these issues.
Cases like transfer of land on Gwalior - Shivpuri section of NH 3, Jodhpur - Barmer section of NH 112, Dagshi village on NH 22 and Tinsukia bypass have been resolved as a result of mutual consultations, an official said.
Pending cases like widening of NH 8 (Dhaula Kuan and IFFCO chowk), Chennai port to Maduravoyal and transfer of Defence land for Eastern waterfront project of Mumbai port were also discussed.
Both parties have decided to extend full cooperation and resolve the pending issues in a time bound manner, the official added.
Meanwhile, some aspects of Char Dham and Jammu and Kashmir roads were discussed in the meeting.
The Road minister said that his ministry would provide funds to Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for building the Char Dham roads on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis for faster execution.
Enhancing the powers of BRO was also a request made by the Road Ministry to the Ministry of Defence. Currently, BRO has authority to sanction mere Rs 2 crore for preparation of the detailed project report (DPR) of the project.
The government has plans to invest Rs 20,000 crore in upgrading and building the national highway network around Char Dham and Buddhist circuits.
Of the total investment, Rs 11,700 crore alone would be spent on the construction of all-weather roads connecting Char Dham that includes four holy shrines of Hindus — Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri in Uttarakhand.
