The Uttar Pradesh Government has agreed to constitute a high-powered committee to provide a single window clearance for pipeline construction activity, providing a boost to GAIL (India) Ltd’s Jagdishpur-Haldia natural gas pipeline project.

GAIL said in a statement on Tuesday that the company gave a presentation to the UP Government officials. The decision to set up the single window clearance committee was taken during the meeting of GAIL officials with the State Government representatives.

GAIL had requested support from the UP Government for the timely completion of the project. The single window clearance committee will help in securing various statutory clearances like forest, environment, PWD, and irrigation, apart from providing administrative support for the construction.
