Hope rises for missing link of Barapullah Phase-III, 790m gap may finally be bridged

New Delhi: The holdup in the third phase of the Barapullah elevated road project due to problems in acquiring land to breach a 790-metre gap may now end. A Delhi government official said on Tuesday that the matter has been resolved and a new notification for work is likely to be issued in the next couple of days.

The state government began the process of acquiring land for the project’s Phase III in 2015 but faced opposition from farmers in Nagli Razapur village, which falls along the alignment of the bridge between Sarai Kale Khan in the west of the Yamuna and Mayur Vihar in the east.
