New Delhi, March 16: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has criticized the previous Aam Aadmi Party government for delays in the Barapullah project. On Monday, she directed the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) to investigate the unclear reasons behind the delays in the implementation of the ongoing Barapullah Elevated Corridor extension project.
She emphasized that the government is taking the unnecessary delays during the previous administration seriously.
Upon completion, this project will provide direct, signal-free connectivity from Mayur Vihar in East Delhi to AIIMS in South Delhi.
The government has approved a revised cost of ₹1,635.03 crores for the construction of the Barapullah Phase-III Elevated Road, which will connect Sarai Kale Khan to Mayur Vihar. This project is an extension of the existing Barapullah Elevated Corridor.
According to the Chief Minister, this initiative will significantly reduce travel time for millions commuting daily between East and South Delhi. It is also expected to alleviate traffic congestion around Sarai Kale Khan, Ring Road, the DND Flyover, and NH-24. The government aims to complete this project by June 30, 2026.
The Chief Minister stated that the Delhi government is continuously working to equip the capital with modern, accessible, and world-class infrastructure.
She emphasized that the government is developing a modern road network, improved connectivity, and robust infrastructure in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a developed India. She noted that these projects are concrete steps towards building a ‘Developed Delhi,’ making the city’s transportation system more efficient and convenient for commuters.
The Chief Minister further asserted that her government is committed to rapid, transparent, and accountable infrastructure development in Delhi.
