Presiding over the seventh authority meeting of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) on Tuesday, chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar considered reservations raised by citizens with regard to the construction of twin link roads between Nelson Mandela Marg in Delhi and MG Road in Gurugram via Aravalli Biodiversity Park.
This project, news of which first came to light in October 2018, had elicited concern from environmentalists as it would have subsumed at least a third of the Aravalli Biodiversity Park in Nathupur.
However, GMDA officials on Tuesday clarified that these concerns, which were once again raised by its resident advisory council in November, are under consideration, and that the project will be “re-examined” to mitigate environmental harm to the park.
