(vi) In the case of Hill States, the estimates for new construction works may be
prepared in two parts wherever circumstances so require. As such:
(a) The first stage will consist of formation cutting, slope stabilization,
protection works and drainage works. If black topping at the second
stage is intended, it may be taken up after two rainy seasons have
elapsed to ensure adequate stabilization of the side slopes. The
second stage will include the WBM layers and bituminous surface 21
course. The habitations concerned will not be counted as ‘connected’ till
the second stage is taken up.
(b) Where State Government agrees as a policy that ‘unsealed’ surfaces
are adequate in certain conditions like low traffic, the formation cutting,
slope stabilization and protection works, complete drainage works
and appropriate surface course treatment (to ensure all- weather
connectivity) will all be included in the first stage and work executed.
In such cases, the habitations will be counted as ‘connected’ on
completion of the first stage itself, as there will be no second stage
