Delhi-Dehradun Expressway Project: In reference to the reports published by some publications regarding private land/structure at Mandola, Bagpat causing hindrance in the completion of the upcoming Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, the authorities issued a clarification that there was no hindrance on the main Expressway, and it remained unaffected.
"Two ramps on each side of the Expressway have been provided for entry and exit of the traffic. Out of the four, ramp number 2, 3 and 4 have been completed, and service roads have already been constructed. The issue pertains only to a small stretch of 90-meter of the service road adjacent to ramp number 5," the statement published by the PIB read.
The owner of the land parcel on ‘Ramp-5’ has filed a writ petition in the High Court of Allahabad (Lucknow Bench) and the matter is pending before the court.
Small part of the service road will be hindered
There will be no effect of this hindrance on the traffic using the main Expressway. Only a small part of the service road will be hindered by the disputed land/structure.
In order to maintain the traffic flow at the location, a temporary bypass arrangement has been made. Vehicles taking the service road and exiting from ‘Ramp-5’, will be able to take a diversion road through the internal road of Mandola Vihar Yojna, ensuring free flow of traffic in this area.
A legal dispute over a 1,600 sq m of land in Ghaziabad's Mandola emerged in the much-hyped Delhi-Dehradun Expressway project. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has been relentlessly working to complete the project. On the other hand, the landowners have reportedly refused to provide it, mentioning its historic significance. However, the court intervened in the matter, urging the speedy resolution of the dispute.
