Getting Delhiites relief from traffic jams is his priority, therefore he himself is monitoring the maintenance work across the city.""Given the requirement of the Chirag Delhi flyover which is used by thousands of commuters every day, PWD is carrying out maintenance work on a war footing. As per the suggestion of the Chief Minister, we have decided to keep one of the two lanes open for the commuters to avoid any inconvenience to them. This will be closely monitored by me," she added.She also said, "It is important to maintain the road infrastructure across the capital from time to time to ensure the longevity of roads and flyovers. But at the same time, it is also important to ensure that no inconvenience is caused to the commuters, as directed by CM Arvind Kejriwal.""As of now, the officials have been asked to double the pace of the work and in the meanwhile, Delhi Police will chalk out an alternate route plan to avoid any traffic jams on the flyover or in nearby areas," Atishi concluded.It is to be noted that PWD regularly does the maintenance work of flyovers across Delhi. In view of the same maintenance work is going on at the Chirag Delhi flyover and a part of the flyover has been closed with respect to it.This has increased the traffic jams on the flyover. According to PWD officials, it will take nearly 50 days for them to complete the maintenance work. But the PWD Minister directed them to complete work at double the pace within a month, the release further added.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
