The Dehradun district magistrate BVRC Purushottam chaired a meeting at the Collectorate to discuss measures for ensuring the successful and timely construction of flyovers and railway over bridge at Balliwala Chowk, Ballupur Chowk, Jogiwala and Bhandaribagh.
Executing agency Engineering Projects India ltd engineer Sanjay Tripathi informed that space is needed at Jogiwala and Bhandaribagh for immediate disposal of material exacavated for construction of flyovers. The DM directed the Tehsildar to inform EIPl as required so that the exacavated material can be used in under-construction institutions. It was said in the meeting that the divisional forest officer will soon provide permission to cut trees for building the flyovers.
The traffic police will be informed soon about the need for removing traffic lights to facilitate construction of flyovers at Ballupur and Balliwala. The DM directed the Tehsildar to depute the lekhpal and Patwari of the areas concerned for two days to survey the land and also mark encroachments with EIPl officers. Tripathi has sought five acre land on temporary basis lease for two years from the District administration for EPIl to enable traffic, installation of the plants for construction and storage of materials. He informed that office bearers of the Vyapar Mandal are interfering in the work at Ballupur and Balliwala due to which police deployment had been sought from the senior superintendent of police to prevent work disruption.
Purushottam said that to ensure timely progress in these construction projects, a review meet will be held every Monday at his office.
