KOLKATA: The Bengal govt has made up our minds to undertake a feasibility study and compile a detailed project report (DPR) on a proposed increased hall — the longest ever in the town — alongside Adi Ganga (Tolly’s Nullah). Another flyover, alongside Hazra Road-Judges Court Road, has been deliberate to facilitate east-bound automobiles from Alipore to zip previous the chaos at Hazra Crossing.
If built, the 9.2km-long increased hall alongside Adi Ganga will offer seamless north-south motion of traffic alongside the hall. However, since it is going to be at a super top, with the intention to keep numerous bridges across Adi Ganga intact, the navigability of Tolly’s Nullah will lower significantly.
The de-siltation of Adi Ganga used to be taken up aggressively after Mamata Banerjee got here to energy in Bengal. “There used to be an try of revive the river and its maritime historical past. In ancient Bengal, Adi Ganga used to be a thriving trade course, but thenavigability may now not be maintained past some degree,” stated an irrigation division legit.
The proposal has also raised questions referring to safety. “Chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s residence is right at the financial institution of Adi Ganga. The flyover will run above her area. So we need to see whether the flyover will breach the CM’s safety or now not,” stated a senior Kolkata Police officer.
“The destiny of the canal used to be sealed when the extension of Metro hall from Tollygunge to New Garia used to be built alongside Tolly’s Nullah. Now, it has become unattainable to restore and revive it past some degree. But even after the flyover’s construction, it must handle some intensity, differently part of Kalighat can get flooded all through top tide,” stated any other irrigation division officer.
Professor Asit Roy, who has been associated with the Save Adi Ganga motion, stated, “The channel still carries waste water out of town. For town’s sake, Adi Ganga must be stored in good well being. The Centre has launched Rs 82 crore for cleaning it up. Much of town will get inundated if Adi Ganga overflows. We will seek the CM’s intervention.”
The different flyover — from Ballygunge Phanri to Saujanya Convention Centre at Hastings Park — will be four.5km lengthy. It will have two go out ramps at Sarat Bose Road and Hazra Road crossing — one towards Deshapriya Park and any other towards Minto Park.
However, there's a yawning gap between making plans and execution, with cops throwing a spanner into the works after preempting an entire collapse of traffic. “Hazra Road isn't broad sufficient for two-way traffic. If the construction agency barricades part of the street to construct piers, it is going to reason numerous problems,” stated an officer.
