NHAI Removes Artificial Island in Nag River at Ashok Chowk
Imagine a river with a small island in it, like a little piece of land.
The government built this island to help them build a bridge.
But now, the bridge is done!
So, they took the island away.
This is good because it gives the river more space, and helps stop the water from overflowing.
The government also cleaned up the river to make sure the water can flow freely.
NHAI removed an artificial island from the Nag river near Ashok Chowk.
The island was built to facilitate flyover construction.
The removal allows the Nag river to flow freely.
The project is part of the Indora to Dighori flyover construction.
NMC instructed removal as part of pre-monsoon preparations.
