Delhi Extends Barapullah Phase 3 Deadline to 2027
The Delhi government has extended the completion deadline for the Barapullah Phase 3 project to 2027.
This project, which started in 2015, aims to connect Sarai Kale Khan to Mayur Vihar.
The government says the delay is due to things like land acquisition and moving high-tension lines, which they couldn't control.
The project was supposed to be done by 2017, but it's taken much longer.
The cost has also gone up by Rs 374.40 crore, making the total cost Rs 1,653.03 crore.
The government is taking steps to make sure the project finishes on time and doesn't cost more than necessary.
They will set up a committee to monitor the project closely.
