NEW DELHI: A 200-metre, three-lane road that was once to have turn into the brand new access point for each the railway station and inter-state bus terminal at Anand Vihar has pitted the transport and railway government in opposition to every other. The tussle over ownership and usage of the road resulted in an unpleasant showdown on Tuesday night time and police had to be known as in to pacify the contenders.
The road, which is but to be opened to the public, starts at Chaudhry Charan Singh Marg 50 metres from Anand Vihar ISBT and terminates close to the Anand Vihar railway station. The Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (DTIDC), which operates the bus terminal, wants to use the road as a secondary access point to the bus terminal. The railways, however, plans to use the road as a substitute access to the railway station there. While the railways constructed the concrete road, DTIDC contends that it owns the land on which the road was once laid and so had usage rights to it.
“This stretch of land was once mendacity unused and was once contributing to pollution. So the Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution Prevention and Control Authority directed that a road should be constructed here to create alternative access to the bus terminal for the reason that the principle access remained congested and resulted in vehicular emission and pollution,” maintained a DTIDC legitimate. “We plan to use the brand new road as one-way access for inter-state buses, while the existing access point will probably be used by local buses.”
On Tuesday, DTIDC attempted to demolish a boundary division on the road to create an access point towards the bus terminal. Railway officers and Railway Protection Force group of workers reached the spot and attempted to prevent the demolition. As a counter measure, DTIDC officers known as in Delhi Police.
The demolition work was once halted, and RN Singh, divisional railway manager, Delhi, mentioned DTIDC should have sought permission first prior to starting to ruin the boundary wall. “We built the road, but now they are claiming it,” alleged Singh.
A DTIDC legitimate retorted, “The railways did build the road but they did without permission after taking over 2,000 square metre of land that belongs to the bus terminal.” He mentioned DTIDC would method the central govt over this encroachment. The corporation’s managing director KK Dahiya mentioned later that they would seek monetary repayment for the land used for the road.
Singh, alternatively, countered this by claiming that the land was once allocated to it in 2001. “The land was once given briefly to the railways and DTIDC is attempting to reoccupy it now despite having given an endeavor that it would be opened for public use.”
Despite the acrimony over the ownership and usage of the land, Singh mentioned that the railways would get a hold of a way out that might meet the needs of each the educate station and the bus terminal. “We are planning to demarcate one lane of the road for ISBT traffic and two lanes for the ones coming to the railway station,” Singh mentioned. “This should end up a win-win situation for everyone.” He added that a meeting would be held shortly to type out the tangles.
