Our government’s aim is that the benefits of development should not remain limited to urban areas but also empower and enrich Yamuna Par region and rural areas equally,” Gupta said.The flyover stretches 1,550 metres in length and 22 metres in width. It will ensure better vehicular flow between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. According to officials, the flyover will not only reduce travel time but also result in major savings of fuel. The project will also deliver significant environmental benefits, including a reduction in carbon emissions from the very first year, officials added.North-East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari, PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh, and Deputy Speaker of the Delhi Assembly Mohan Singh Bisht were also present at the inauguration event.“The flyover was delayed for 16 months due to clearance issues related to 27 trees. The current government handled the permissions systematically and completed the project quickly. For the first time, the Centre, Delhi Government, and the Corporation have worked together,” said PWD Minister Singh.Earlier in the day, Gupta also flagged off 300 new electric Delhi EV Inter-connector (DEVI) buses from the East Vinod Nagar Bus Depot. “IIT Delhi has designed the routes, which will now be based on passenger demand. This means passengers won’t face inconvenience, and Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) won’t suffer losses,” Gupta said. These gifts for the Yamuna Par region are part of the ‘Seva Pakhwada’ celebrations being held to mark the 75th birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she added.Story continues below this adTransport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh added that 21 new routes covering 625 bus stops have been introduced in the Trans-Yamuna region. “This is the first-ever route rationalisation in Delhi. A detailed study is already underway to implement it across the whole city, so that buses can reach every corner with last-mile connectivity,” Singh said.Stay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on Instagram© The Indian Express Pvt Ltd
