STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
With a view to motivating advancement and strengthening of the State Highways it was decided to make a law to provide for the establishment of the Uttar Pradesh State Highways Authority on the lines of the National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988 (Act no. 68 of 1988). The main functions of the Authority would be to develop , maintain and manage the State Highways and any other highways vested in, or entrusted to, it by the State Government. The Authority should consist of the Governing Council which will be the highest policy making body of the said Authority. There should be an Executive Committee to assist the Governing Council in discharging the functions of the Authority.
Since the State Legislature was not in session and immediate legislative action was necessary to implement the aforesaid decision, the Uttar Pradesh State Highways Authority Ordinance, 2004 (U.P. Ordinance No. 9 of 2004) was promulgated by the Governor on June 17, 2004.
This Bill is introduced to replace the aforesaid Ordinance.
