Delhi govt to fast track shifting of HT power lines to ensure peoples’ safety
People in Outer North Delhi's Burari, Kirari, and Bawana will get relief soon as CM Atishi directed officials to simplify policies for the shifting high-tension lines.
Delhi PWD Minister Atishi on Thursday inspected under-construction flyovers in Moti Nagar and Punjabi Bagh and pulled up officials for delay in work.
In a stern warning, she asked the officials to complete the work by January or face action.
The minister said these flyovers are important to decongest traffic on Ring Road. No further delay in their construction will be tolerated now, she said.

Atishi instructed the officials to expedite the remaining work by increasing the number of labourers and machines on the site
During the inspection, officials told her that most of the work on the Moti Nagar flyover has been completed, with only the installation of a 50-metre steel girder over the intersection near the Bharat Darshan Park remaining.
“Due to heavy traffic at the intersection, work here is getting delayed. Additionally, most of the work on the Punjabi Bagh flyover is also done, and here, girders are being installed. However, the pace of work has slowed down due to the shifting of a power line,” an official said.
The corridor between the Punjabi Bagh Flyover and Raja Garden Flyover is a part of Ring Road, and it experiences a heavy traffic load because it serves traffic from Haryana using the Rohtak Road (NH-10). Additionally, it connects North Delhi to South Delhi, Gurugram, and other parts of the NCR.
