It was on a chilly evening of a December day last year that Chandigarhians — young and old — all got together and thronged the venue where public hearing was held only to oppose the first flyover for their city. They travelled from different places, sat and waited for hours till evening for their turn only to tell that a flyover will spoil the character of the city.
Even as the majority of them at the public hearing junked the flyover, they were shocked on Wednesday when they got to know that the UT Administration has decided to go ahead with sector 29/31 flyover project as a majority have supported it. They will be submitting the decision before Punjab and Haryana High Court next month.
Dejected residents feel cheated. They say that public hearing was a mere formality as the decision had already been taken.
