Former Cabinet Minister Sajjan Singh Verma Urges Union Minister Gadkari To Save Elevated Corridor Project
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Former cabinet minister Sajjan Singh Verma has written to Union minister for road transport Nitin Gadkari, urging intervention in the cancellation of the elevated bridge project from LIG to Naulakha in Indore. Verma claimed the cancellation will push Indore's development five years behind.
In his letter, Verma shared a past meeting photo with Gadkari when the project was approved. He noted that a physical survey had been conducted and the tender was awarded transparently to the Uttar Pradesh Bridge Corporation. Construction had even begun before Chief Minister Mohan Yadav cancelled the plan, allegedly misled by the local leaders. Verma criticised the CM's alternative proposal of seven overbridges, calling it impractical.
Engineers from Indore submitted a report to urban administration minister Kailash Vijayvargiya, stating that the overbridges would overlap and lack service roads. Verma highlighted the successful completion of similar projects in Jabalpur, Bhopal and Dewas. He warned that cancelling the elevated bridge would result in a Rs35 crore loss and delay the city's progress. Verma requested Gadkari's intervention to ensure the city's development stays on track.
