GURUGRAM: A foot overbridge — proposed throughout NH-Eight to permit hundreds of office-goers running in Udyog Vihar industrial house reach Rapid Metro’s Cyber City station safely — is stuck in bureaucratic hurdles for just about three years now.
And if officials are to be believed, the mission is unlikely to look the light of the day any time quickly.
Lakhs of people work in Udyog Vihar but Rapid Metro, in step with workplace goers, is lacking out on an important increase in ridership because people like to take an auto to Sikanderpur to operating around the parkway to reach the Cyber City metro station.
Rapid Metro had approached the town’s civic businesses in August 2015, in quest of their nod to construct a foot overbridge that will connect the Cyber City station with Udyog Vihar. It was also keen to undergo the price of building.
A foot overbridge won't most effective bring more commuters to Rapid Metro but in addition lend a hand prevent accidents taking place at this point the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway.
But the government businesses have been sitting on this proposal for just about three years.
“Like Cyber City, Udyog Vihar may be a large company hub of Gurugram that draws lakhs of people who travel from Delhi daily. And since the release of Rapid Metro, we've seen a lot of the ones commuters the usage of our carrier. But they find it difficult to go the NH-Eight and reach the nearest station (Cyber City). To remedy this daily drawback, we had submitted an offer for a foot overbridge there. The proposal is under analysis and we are hoping to receive the clearance shortly,” stated a spokesperson for Rapid Metro.
The spokesperson claimed that the FOB would have double escalators to ease commuting. “We believe this initiative will be a recreation changer. It won't most effective draw more people to Rapid Metro but can even lend a hand cut back congestions at the NH-Eight to a super extent.”
V Umashankar, the CEO of Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), stated he had won an offer for the foot over-bridge most effective closing Friday.
“I am looking into this topic. However, as consistent with Section 19 of the GMDA Act, any infrastructure mission can be started after accomplishing public consultations. We will dangle consultations to grasp people’s opinion about this mission as well. Also, we can need to seek the advice of NHAI on this topic,” he defined.
And if officials are to be believed, the mission is unlikely to look the light of the day any time quickly.
