Sham Sudarshan on Thursday said the department had initiated the process of sanction of estimates and calling for tenders to take up repair work of the stretch at the earliest.
In a statement, the EE said that permission to cut the stretch between the church and the junction was given to L&T Metro Rail on the condition that works would be taken up in such a way that excavation would not affect the operational safety, functional integrity of the road and also not cause interruption of traffic flow.
