The Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi Government, Delhi Development Authority and the traffic police to submit a status report on a three-lane flyover being constructed parallel to an existing flyover at Rao Tula Ram Marg on Outer Ring Road here.
A Division Bench, hearing a writ petition moved by the residents of Vasant Vihar, also sought to know from the authorities the progress on evolving functional alternative routes for diversion of traffic during the flyover’s construction.
The Bench, comprising Justice B.D. Ahmed and Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, clarified that the work on the flyover would not be allowed to proceed if the traffic to and from the airport was not de-congested during the construction work.
