Overview
- The elevated corridor remains on hold because the Haryana Irrigation Department has not issued a no-objection certificate required to start work.
- Haryana has asked for proof that heavy machines can still desilt the canal and for pier designs that do not damage the canal’s lining or embankments.
- Delhi PWD says the detailed project report is ready or near completion, and the government plans to hand execution to the National Highways Authority of India.
- The plan calls for a 16-kilometre double-decker road along and over the Western Yamuna (Munak) Canal from UER-II to Inderlok to create a signal-free link for Northwest Delhi.
- The canal falls under Haryana’s jurisdiction, which makes its consent mandatory, and officials say the issue has been discussed in inter-state forums such as the Northern Zonal Council.
