Fast-Tracking the Barapullah Phase-3 Flyover: Delhi Government's Race Against Time

The Delhi government's Public Works Department aims to complete the Barapullah phase-3 flyover, connecting Mayur Vihar-I and AIIMS, by December. Despite being 98% complete, final approvals for tree relocation are pending, causing delays. The endeavor began in 2015 with previous setbacks from the former government's mismanagement.

The Delhi government is accelerating efforts to complete the Barapullah phase-3 flyover by December, according to Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma.

During a site visit, Verma stated that the project, crucial for connecting Mayur Vihar-I to AIIMS seamlessly, is 98% complete.

However, forest department approvals needed for relocating about 200 trees are still pending, contributing to delays first caused by previous administration oversights.
