PM4K NEWS 081: ONLY 4 OF 8 CP SUBWAYS TO MEET OCTOBER CWG TARGET

Continuing with the PM4K NEWS Series on the Commonwealth Games Project here’s another update.

NEW DELHI: One of the biggest projects for the Commonwealth Games is to turn the city pedestrian friendly. The plan includes constructing eight subways at Connaught Place. With the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) yet to get permission from the Delhi Traffic Police for two subways, it seems unlikely the whole project will meet the deadline. At present, work is on at four subways; they are expected to be ready on time. Sources in the NDMC said the Delhi Traffic Police have given permission for work on two other subways, but the civic agency is awaiting nod for the last two. Considering that each phase of subway construction takes nearly 240 days, completing the rest before the Games in October seems unlikely.

“Our aim now is to complete the four subways on which work has started. We will think about the rest when we get permission. We want to complete as many subways as possible,” a senior NDMC official said.
