Rao Narbir Singh speaks of realigning road via Aravali park, but NHAI says it hasn’t heard from government
GURUGRAM: Haryana wooded area and PWD minister Rao Narbir Singh on Thursday repeated his enchantment to NHAI to not align the Greater Southern Peripheral Expressway Road (GSPR) thru Aravali Biodiversity Park within the city. This, after NHAI rejected all such previous appeals, made via some voters, environmentalists and the state executive. Meanwhile, different citizens pitched in for the venture — which proposes to connect NH-8 in Gurugram with Mehrauli-Gurugram Road in South Delhi, bypassing Mahipalpur — as the desire of the hour.
TOI reported on November 15 that Narbir had promised to invite NHAI to realign the arguable road via warding off the Biodiversity Park. “I’ll ask NHAI officers if they can realign the road. We don’t need any loss to the environment,” he had mentioned then. NHAI officers, regardless that, told TOI on Thursday itself that they're yet to obtain the minister’s request thru professional channels.
On Thursday, Rao Narbir Singh mentioned he changed into conscious about the problem from information reviews. “After studying the scoop, I made up our minds to talk with NHAI in regards to the road’s alignment. I don’t need any part of the wooded area to get disturbed. PWD regardless that has no position in this road’s development,” he mentioned in a commentary.
The NHAI consultant, who ready the plan for GSPR, mentioned this road will a great deal reduce traffic on NH-8. “NH-8 sees large volume of traffic, resulting in widespread jams. This road will reduce the selection of automobiles on it, especially ones going towards Delhi,” he mentioned.
NHAI officers mentioned they are going to construct an interchange within Biodiversity Park. “We’re making plans to build a major interchange at this park. This will permit commuters strolling back from Faridabad to go at once towards South Delhi, or transfer ahead towards Manesar. It will thus be offering an alternate route for the present Gurugram-Faridabad road, which too sees large traffic volume and snarls,” mentioned a senior NHAI professional.
Supporting the venture, some citizens claimed GSPR is vital and NHAI must construct it, even though it is during the park. Vinod Giri, a resident of Belvedere Park, mentioned, “A brand new, speedy carriageway is had to take the load off NH-8 and MG Road. Unfortunately, the lay of land is such that a new road will lower thru forests wherever it is built. Biodiversity Park appears to be the one feasible land parcel to be had in public arms. Where else can this be made? We must accept this and then center of attention on minimising the brand new road’s impact at the park, via, say, aligning it along the park’s edges and using elevated sections.”
Palm Springs resident Anupam Nagalia mentioned, “This road will be a boon to citizens of Gurugram, Faridabad, Gwalpahari, and those staying within the spaces adjoining the Delhi border. It will make traffic glide to Dwarka and the airport smooth, and decongest traffic glide from Cyber City.”
