Former Congress MP Mahabal Mishra and his supporters on Saturday “forcefully” opened an elevated corridor between Vikaspuri and Meera Bagh, a day before Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was scheduled to formally inaugurate it, prompting PWD to file a police complaint.
In a statement, the former West Delhi MP claimed he along with hundreds of party workers inaugurated the 3.4-km-long flyover as the Congress had allotted funds for its construction. Meanwhile, a senior official said that Public Works Department (PWD) has filed a written police complaint for “forcefully” inaugurating the elevated corridor, which is a part of 22-km-long signal-free Vikaspuri-Wazirabad project.
The corridor will make five intersections on the stretch signal-free, following which residents of Jankapuri, Vikaspuri, Tilak Nagar, Jawalaheri, Pachim Vihar will be benefited the most.
On the other hand, Mishra had accused the Delhi Government for misleading the facts about cost of construction of the flyover. On Thursday Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken had flashed RTI reports against the Kejriwal Government, showing how the flyover from Vikaspuri to Meerabagh was tendered for Rs407 crore in February, 2013 but the AAP government has spent Rs450 crore on it and still balance works like horticulture, rain harvesting, rainwater pipe, etc is pending.
