Union home minister Amit Shah will inaugurate the Barapullah Phase-III elevated corridor in Delhi on Tuesday, along with laying foundation stones for two flyover projects and opening an underpass, PWD minister Parvesh Verma said. The Modi Mill flyover extension to Kalkaji and a new parallel flyover at Savitri Cinema junction have been sanctioned at a combined cost of Rs 371 crore, with Rs 150 crore allocated for this financial year. Delhi government aims to complete both in 24 to 30 months.
The 1.5 km six-lane Modi Mill flyover extension will cover key junctions including Captain Gaur Marg and Nehru Place bus depot, NDTV reports. The 900-metre three-lane Savitri Cinema flyover is designed to ease congestion in Greater Kailash and CR Park. The Mukarba Chowk underpass, already completed, includes two vehicular underpasses and one for pedestrians near Haiderpur Badli Mor metro station. PWD estimates 15,800 vehicles will use the vehicular underpasses daily, cutting travel time by up to 10 minutes and saving about 58,000 litres of fuel annually.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets present the infrastructure announcements as straightforward government initiatives, with no critical or opposition framing. The Times of India carries detailed cost figures, timelines, and traffic projections, while NDTV offers a concise overview focused on south Delhi bottlenecks. The uniformity suggests the government's messaging on these projects has not met with public controversy. What to watch is the actual completion timeline against the stated 24-30 month target for the flyovers, given Delhi's history of construction delays.
