SDMC to develop vertical gardens on pillars under flyovers

New Delhi: South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) on Wednesday announced that it would develop vertical gardens on the pillars of flyovers. SDMC earlier took initiatives to develop spaces underneath flyovers on major roads owned by the PWD. The idea is to provide a soothing feeling to pedestrians and passengers in buses and private vehicles. There would be greenery, public art and attractive lighting under the flyovers.

SDMC Mayor Kamaljeet Sehrawat said that the Corporation has formulated an action plan to develop vertical gardens on over 142 pillars of about a dozen flyovers in a phased manner. The five flyovers where the vertical gardens will be developed in the first phase are Lajpat Nagar, Andrews Ganj, Sarai Kale Khan, Kalkaji, Nehru Place and Raja Garden.
