New Delhi: Barapullah phase III, connecting Mayur Vihar with INA, is expected to get over only by mid-2018 as the government hasn't been able to sort out a land acquisition problem.
"We need to acquire about eight acres in the middle of the riverbed, which comes under the Nangli Razapur village. We have been in negotiation with the residents who are asking for an absolutely impractical amount of money to transfer the land. Against Rs 27 lakh per acre that the government is offering, they are asking for Rs 9 crore per acre. They have had several meetings with the PWD secretary and senior officials but now the chief secretary is personally taking up the matter. Without this land, PWD cannot complete its foundation laying work," said a senior official.
Then there are BSES and Delhi Transco lines passing over the project area. "We have deposited money with BSES for shifting of the lines but there has been no movement there. Additionally, we have been asking Transco to shift its high tension wires for more than a year but that matter is also pending," the official added.
As a result of the delay, the Rs 1,260.63-crore project could take an additional six to eight months for completion.
