Rampura flyover, which is two.4km clear of the Kherki Daula toll plaza, was once just lately in the news after a concrete chunk fell off it on December 17. Now, citizens in the area also are alleging that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has failed to put in streetlights at the 700m flyover, putting lives of hundreds of commuters at risk.
The flyover, which was once opened to public in 2013, has had no streetlights since its inauguration. When TOI visited the spot, electric poles without lighting fixtures could be seen across the flyover. “Every time I travel by the use of the flyover at night time, I believe that I am risking my existence. I request the departments involved, as well as NHAI, to take rapid notice of this and do the needful,” stated Shibashish Rudra, a resident of Sector 81 who commutes steadily at the stretch.
Residents who reside in the sectors alongside the NH-Eight, of which the flyover is part, stated even the provider lanes don't have any streetlights. “It’s risky to go the flyover at night time. Not most effective that, commuters who use provider roads too must travel alongside dark stretches in the absence of boulevard lighting fixtures,” stated Amit Narain, a resident of Sector 90. Added Vikram Sahni, a resident of Sector 82, “Driving in this flyover throughout night time and night time hours is a challenge. There are poles standing in this flyover, however without lighting fixtures.”
The state of affairs is the same for the IMT Manesar flyover, which was once opened to the commuters in May 2018. “I used to be on my means from Gurgaon to Manesar after I noticed that the flyover doesn’t have any boulevard lighting fixtures. How can the authorities open a flyover without fundamental infrastructure? If an twist of fate occurs at the flyover, who will take accountability for it? Commuting at the stretch at night time is a nightmare,” stated Sadhna Arya, a resident of Sector 82.
The flyovers are maintained by way of Pink City Expressway, which is the concess-ionaire of all flyovers on NH-Eight after Kherki Daula toll plaza until Alwar, Rajasthan. “Around 57 flyovers come under our purview. We are having a look into this factor,” stated a Pink City Expressway legit.
NHAI stated they are taking on the problem “seriously” with the concessionaire. The highways authority plans to terminate the contract between the concessionaire and NHAI for no longer pleasant their tasks. “We have already recommended the termination of the concessionaire, Pink City Expressway, as they are not doing their activity properly. A notice in this regard was once despatched to them in December,” stated N N Giri, NHAI challenge director (Jaipur).
