Separately, businesstoday.in reports that construction of a new skywalk near Sector 1 will begin within a month. The Rs 15 crore project will be built under the Build-Operate-Transfer model, with the selected agency financing it in exchange for advertising rights and maintaining the structure for 15 years. The skywalk will serve the Sector 15 metro station, coaching centres and Sector 14, and include two escalators and a lift. The Sector 1 skywalk project had been pending for 12-15 years due to land disputes.
