Delhi PWD to Hand Over Six Flyovers for Beautification and Upgradation
Imagine Delhi has some old bridges called flyovers.
The government department that builds roads, called PWD, is going to let two other companies, Indian Oil and the airport company DIAL, take care of six of these flyovers in South Delhi.
These companies will make the spaces under the flyovers look nice.
They will put in playgrounds for kids, gardens to enjoy, and places to park cars.
They also want to make sure homeless people and anyone who has set up their home there move, so the areas can be cleaned up and made better for everyone.
It's like adopting a part of the city to make it prettier and more useful.
Delhi's PWD will hand over six flyovers in South Delhi to IOCL and DIAL.
The handover is part of the 'adopt a flyover' policy for beautification and upgradation.
New facilities such as play areas, gardens, and parking will be developed under the flyovers.
The initiative aims to remove encroachments and homeless individuals from areas beneath the flyovers.
An MoU was also signed with DIAL for the repair and maintenance of Veer Banda Bairagi Marg in North Delhi.
