The Government today said it has extended the tenure of National Highways Authority of India chief, Mr R S Gujral, till June 30 and the process is on for appointing a regular Chairman. Mr Gujral, Road Transport and Highways Secretary, was given additional charge of NHAI chairman for three months with effect from January 1 this year after expiry of the tenure of the former chief, Mr Brijeshwar Singh, in December 2010.
“We have given extension to Mr Gujral for another three months. Meanwhile, the process is on for selection of a regular Chairman for NHAI,” the Road Minister, Mr C.P. Joshi, said.
The Government, almost a year ago, had constituted a panel under the Cabinet Secretary, Mr K M Chandrasekhar, to select a candidate for the post.
