the CUPL in order of priority.
6.8 In drawing up the annual list of the road works, the District Panchayat shall
ensure that the Order of Priority for New Connectivity / Upgradation is strictly
followed. The only exception (in new connectivity links) from the order of priority is
in respect of those routes of the Core Network that include the Village Panchayat
Headquarters or Market Centres or other educational or medical essential services
or those which stand notified by the State Government as places of tourist interest.
In such cases, new connectivity may be taken up irrespective of the population
size.
6.9 The Annual proposals will be based on the CNCPL or CUPL as the case may
be, following the Order of Priority. However, it is possible that there are inadvertent
errors or omissions, particularly in the associated through routes or subsidiary link
routes in case of new connectivity. Accordingly it is desirable to also associate
public representatives while finalising the selection of road works in the annual
14 proposals in the Core Network. The proposals of the Members of Parliament are
required to be given full consideration, and for this purpose:
(i) The Block or District CNCPL / CUPL should be sent to each MP with the
request that their proposals on the selection of works out of the CNCPL /
CUPL should be sent to the District Panchayat. It is suggested that at least
15 clear days may be given for the purpose.
(ii) In order to ensure that the prioritisation has some reference to the funding
available, the size of proposals expected may also be indicated to the
Members of Parliament while forwarding them the CNCP / CUPL list. District
/ Block-wise allocation may be indicated to enable choice with the requisite
geographical spread. It is expected that such proposals of Members
of Parliament which adhere to the Order of Priority would be invariably
accepted subject to consideration of equitable allocation of funds.
(iii) The proposals received from the Members of Parliament by the stipulated
