The deadline of already delayed Kharar y over has again been revised to March 2020 as the
district administration could not acquire the land and properties that are already constructed
along the road.

The service road under the yover is also creating a tra c mess after the rain. The potholes,
brimming with rainwater, make the lives of hundreds of commuters miserable and they pose a
great danger to their lives. According to the o cials of the district administration, 370 already-
standing structures along the road have not been removed yet, thereby halting the construction
work of the yover.
The Project Director of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), K L Sachdeva told
Chandigarh Newsline that notices have been issued to owners of the 370 properties to remove
their structures by June 25.

“We have deposited the money to the district administration. Now, it is up to the administration
to further give that money to property owners for their structures. After June 25, we will start
demolishing these structures on our own as the project has already been delayed a lot,”
Sachdeva added.

When asked about tentative time for completion of the yover, K L Sachdeva said that if all the
properties are acquired within one month from now, it will take at least eight months for the
completion of the project.

“Now, the revised deadline for the completion is March 31, 2020. Earlier, it was January 30. This
is an unnecessary delay. NHAI has already deposited the compensation money. We want this
work to be nished soon, but if these 370 properties are not acquired within one month, the
deadline could be extended further once again,” Sachdeva said.

When asked about the dilapidated state of the service road, Sachdeva said they constructed a
drain along the road and it is now the responsibility of the Local Bodies Department to make a
passage to drain out rainwater.

The construction of the yover was started in 2016 and was to be completed in 2018. Larsen
and Turbo- the company which is constructing the yover, in January this year, also threatened
to pull out of the project due to delay in land acquisition for construction work.
