The Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) has taken up repairing and electrical work on seven foot overbridges (FOBs) after receiving complaints from the people over non-functional lifts and dilapidated conditions which force pedestrians to take risks by crossing busy roads.
“We received several complaints from the public over non-functional lifts, poor conditions and lack of working lights. Theft is a major problem in these FOBs because most parts in lifts and electrical items like aluminium wires, light fittings, holders and others are stolen. Even if a wire is cut or a minor part is broken, the entire lift or light goes off,” said a PWD official.
