In a letter to Mr Gadkari, Mrs Badal pointed out that the Government of India had approved the construction of the flyover and the matter had also been discussed at a virtual meeting held by the minister on September 7, 2021. “But work on the project has been put on hold because of some administrative reasons which need to be addressed at the earliest. “ Ms Badal said that the area is accident prone and faces additional hazards during foggy weather in winters.
She requested the minister to get the administrative bottlenecks cleared at the relevant levels so that work on the construction of the bypass may begin at the earliest.
