The Ashram underpass opened after missing eight deadlines and a delay of over a year. Smooth commuting via Ashram Chowk underpass will save 1,536 liters of fuel per day, and will reduce 3.6 ton of CO2 emission in the area. The underpass connects Bhogal with New Friends Colony on Mathura Road. After its opening, motorists travelling to ITO and other parts of central Delhi from New Friends Colony and Badarpur will have a smooth ride through the busy Ashram crossing.
