Ratu road flyover construction work reaches last stage

Published on: 

On the upcoming 19th June, Ranchi will get another flyover. On this day, Road Construction and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari will give a big gift to Ranchi and inaugurate the much-awaited newly constructed elevated corridor in Ratu Road. Preparations have also been intensified for the inauguration program. The operation of transport in this flyover will give relief to the people of Ranchi from road jams as people will reach from one part of the city to another through the flyover in a few moments.

On Saturday Ranchi MP and Union Minister of State for Defense Sanjay Seth inspected with NHAI officials regarding the preparations for the inauguration of the elevated corridor. During this, he told the officials that there are many places under the elevated corridor where badminton courts and courts for other small sports can be built.

The Ratu Road elevated flyover project in Ranchi is a significant urban infrastructure initiative aimed at reducing traffic congestion. The project, approximately 4.1 km in length, is expected to improve connectivity and ease traffic flow in the area. This flyover, about 4.1 km long, has been erected on 105 pillars. 

Meanwhile, parties in power have demanded its naming before the flyover. Congress and JMM have demanded that Ratu Road flyover be named after Dishom Guru Shibu Soren. In this regard, Deputy Leader of Congress Legislature Party Rajesh Kachhap demanded to name Ratu Road flyover after Shibu Soren.

Now JMM has also joined the chorus on this demand of Congress. JMM General Secretary Vinod Pandey said that this is not only the demand of Rajesh Kachhap or Congress, but also the demand of JMM. The government has demanded that Ratu Road flyover be named after Shibu Soren. We demand this from the government.

An important step has been taken under the Ratu Road Elevated Corridor project located at Raj Bhavan. Removing the obstacle in the construction work, the Hanuman Vatika temple has been duly shifted. On Saturday, under the leadership of Santosh Yadav, President of Hanuman Vatika Nav Jagriti Sangh, Bajrangbali was worshiped and the idols of the temple were installed at the new place.

The worship ritual was completed with Vedic chanting by Pandit Dinesh Pandey. Now this temple is being built at a new place in front of Ratu Road Vegetable Market, where its structure will be more grand and elaborate.

The length of the shifted Hanuman temple has been kept 8 meters and width 6 meters. The main entrance of the temple has been built towards the east, which is considered auspicious in Vastu Shastra. A beautiful and high dome is also being prepared to enhance the beauty of the temple, which will attract devotees.

As soon as the process of temple transfer is completed, the work of widening the ramp will be started rapidly. This will ease traffic and speed up the elevated corridor project, which will also provide relief to local citizens.

On this occasion, Sudhir Shandilya, Santosh Yadav, Kashi Yadav, Sachin Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Manoj Sahu, Vijay Sahu, Satish Kumar, Dilip Thakur and other dignitaries were present.

With the intention of making the city green and beautiful, thousands of plants have been planted under the Ratu Road elevated corridor built from Piskamod OTC Ground to Raj Bhavan. This corridor is almost complete and its inauguration is proposed on June 19. But even before the inauguration, the condition of these plants has started deteriorating, most of the plants have started withering.

Lakhs of rupees have been spent on this green project. The cost of the plants planted is being reported to be 50 to 200 rupees per plant. Despite this, plants of such species have been planted which require sufficient sunlight. Whereas sunlight hardly reaches below the elevated corridor. The result is that these plants have started drying due to lack of sufficient light.

The plants planted in the middle of the corridor include ornamental plants like Kamini, Vectoria, Sanjeevani and Arudha. But the surprising thing is that neither any fencing has been done for their protection, nor any monitoring system has been made. According to the workers working here, about 5-10 percent of the plants have been stolen so far.

These plants planted without any fence or protective measures are also being damaged by stray cattle and passersby. The work of plantation has been going on for a month and plants have been planted up to a length of about 4 kilometers. But the supervision and maintenance that was expected is not visible till now.
