Rani Jhansi flyover: Residents end fast after CM ‘order’

NEW DELHI: The residents of north Delhi finally ended their 80-hour hunger strike on Tuesday after the Kotwali SDM and deputy director of Bhagidari cell assured them that all their demands will be discussed with the North Delhi Municipal Corporation commissioner. The residents also claimed the chief minister had given directives in this regard. "We were assured that our demands will be heard. The officials also assured that the CM will intervene into the matter to find out the cause of the delay," said Ashok Bhasin, president, north Delhi resident welfare federation.

Bhasin with two others had gone on a hunger strike on Saturday because work on the Rani Jhansi grade separator was stalled. The project was conceived in 1998 and was supposed to be completed in 2010 before the Commonwealth Games.

However, till date only 38% of the work is complete. The civic agency is yet to get possession of the land from Delhi government and Railways.It is also not able to construct new sections of the flyover because of four major water pipelines in the area. "Due to the prolonged delay the cost of the project has escalated from Rs 177 crore to Rs 300 crore," said Bhasin. The flyover will cover Rani Jhansi Road, Bara Hindu Rao, DCM Chowk, Azad Market and Baraf Khana Chowk to reach St Stephen's Hospital. However, with more than one agency involved, it is difficult to coordinate, said officials. "It's not just the corporation which is involved, but land acquisition needs other agencies like railways to cooperate with us," said PK Gupta, commissioner, NDMC. But regarding assurance from Dikshit, officials said they haven't been approached.
