Government to improve safety of subways, overbridge
Aiming to improve pedestrian safety, the Public Works Department (PWD) of the Delhi government is mulling to implement a comprehensive monitoring-and-maintenance plan for subways and foot overbridges.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma carried out a ground inspection with all the top officials of the department last month and found issues with the subways and foot over bridges (FOBs).
According to PWD officials, a company will be hired to undertake repairs and maintenance of six key subways at Shastri Nagar, Saraswati Vihar, Rohini Court, Inderlok, Wazirpur and Britannia Chowk in the first phase.
