NEW DELHI: Delhi Metro’s longest hall, Pink Line — which connects all current corridors — was split into two because of a land issue between Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 and Trilokpuri station. After a long drawn out fight, with citizens who were to be relocated elevating more than a few objections, the issue has finally been resolved.
DMRC is within the procedure of getting additional land which will facilitate building of quarters for all the affected families, clearing the best way for development a 255-metre long viaduct and making all of the line operational.
The 58.6-km line, from Majlis Park within the north and Shiv Vihar in north-east, is like a loop. The stalemate at Trilokpuri’s Block 15, avoided DMRC from constructing a an important stretch. So, it was decided that one phase would serve as from Majlis Park to Mayur Vihar Pocket 1, with trains reversing from this spot, and the other from Shiv Vihar to Trilokpuri station, with the train reversing within the different route. There was an opening of 1.5 km in between.
“Trilokpuri is a densely populated residential house and land was wanted for building of 10 pillars to construct a 255-metre long viaduct,” stated a DMRC spokesperson. “The occupants of 108 plots in Block 15 are to be relocated to make this land to be had for the construction.” Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board had allotted 11,138 square metres, comprising three plots, between Block 15 and 18, for relocation of the families. The rehabilitation work, on the other hand, could now not be taken up due to resistance from the citizens.
The citizens filed a petition within the Delhi high court but the court dominated in favour of DMRC. Barely had DMRC began the relocation work that some citizens filed a case within the National Green Tribunal claiming that the land allotted to DMRC was a part of the green belt.
However, DDA clarified that the land use of 2 plots was recreational and of one residential. DMRC approached DDA to modify the land use of the two plots from recreational to residential. When things began looking up, DDA put a spanner within the works by insisting that the correct of way in front of the plots must be 30 metres huge. This resulted in some land being taken from the plots meant for relocation. On the remainder, only 66 quarters could be built with no land left for 42 quarters. However, DMRC is now being allotted more land.
“The means of relocating those occupants is going on and 66 quarters had been built at one location whilst land has been gained for constructing rest of the quarters at some other location shut by. “Construction of viaduct between Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 and Trilokpuri metro station will get started after the relocation is over,” stated the spokesperson.
