Gurgaon: With MCG apparently dragged his feet to hand over more than 0.3 hectares of land near Kherki Daula to the National Highway Authority India (NHAI), The Cloverleaf Flyover Dwarkway, important exchanges with NH-8, may not be completed before the end of 2022 .
NHAI officials said the Civic body had delayed the process of handing over land for almost three years now.
In accordance with the agreement between the two bodies, the MCG must shift the cremation and Shani Temple of the land to the alternative location and submit soil free from highways.
It took more than two years to shift cremation ground to an alternative site, while the temple shift was still trapped in the limbo.
Last month, TOI reported that in a meeting held between the two bodies, MCG was looking for time until July 31 to hand over the land free to take to NHAI to start a job at the Dwarka Expressway’s important intersection.
Based on Civic’s body commitment, NHAI once again encouraged deadlines to complete the construction of structures until August 202.
A senior Nhai official said, “The time limit for settlement of the structure depends on it when we will solve the land that is still stuck with MCG.
We have a series of correspondence but the problem has been delayed outside the point.
It will take at least one year to build a clover intersection, given that We did not find an unexpected incident that hindered construction activities.
“Part of the 4 Dwarka Expressway package, the Interchange Cloverleaf will be built on 14 hectares of land, where NHAI already has around 13 hectares.
The project was postponed for more than three years and NHAI had missed the revised deadline in December 2020 because of the red ribbon and the sluggish approach from the MCG in submitting 0.3 hectares needed.
Although land cremation was shifted to alternative sites earlier this year, the emergence of the second wave of Covid-19 was delaying the process of transferring the temple.
Initially, MCG pushed the deadline to hand over land to June 30.
The corporate further pushed it to the end of July claiming that it was involved in mitigating the annual and persistent problems of the city – waterlogging during the monsoon.
But, MCG once again failed to meet committed deadlines.
MCG officials remain not available, although repeatedly repeatedly to contact them.
