Delhi High Court has sought responses of the city government and police on several issues relating to the construction of a three-lane flyover on Rao Tula Ram (RTR) Marg on the outer ring road and decongestion of traffic in that area.
A Bench of justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva also sought a report from the forest department on whether its order to carry out compensatory plantation before cutting down of trees for the project, has been complied with.
The public works department (PWD) was asked to give a report giving reasons for suspension of work on construction of an underpass connecting Benito Juarez Marg and San Martin Marg Road in South Delhi and to show that the work has been commenced as claimed by the authority.
The underpass was to be constructed along with the flyover project in order to provide another
route for traffic from Outer Ring Road to cross the Ring Road and thus reduce the burden on other roads connecting the Rao Tula Ram Marg with Ring Road.
