Time flying out for Dabri flyover

[Arun Banerjee]

The Pankha Road 1.5 Km flyover (popularly known as Dabri flyover) launched in 2009 at an cost of Rs.109.84 Cr. The flyover was to be ready by September 2011 but delayed due to shifting of underground water pipelines by Delhi Jal Board and overhead High-Tension cables and other illegal structures around Dabri crossing.  

This flyover was suppose to ease traffic in this region (Dabri crossing) of South-West Delhi and particularly for those residing at Dwarka, Janakpuri and Uttam Nagar.

It was proposed to open this flyover for trial run on August 15, 2012 after missing the initial deadline of September 2011. The same could not be complied with keeping in view safety of commuters.  The slip road for Dwarka has just started (October, 2012). 

Traffic is now moving on this flyover to and fro Uttam Nagar and Sagarpur stretch has no street lights, what to talk about lights on the flyover. It is difficult to find a single street light right from DESU colony upto the end of the flyover – a distance of around 2+ Kms. Parking of buses along the flyover near Raghu Nagar is an additional woe on this stretch for road users.

Who and which authority will be held responsible in case any mishap happen on and around this under-construction flyover? This situation of no street lights is prevailing for more than 6 months and nobody is bothered about the safety of the road users, so the claim of SDMC about safety of commuters is just a hoax.

In case any responsible officer of SDMC, other agency or the construction company goes through this. May take urgent remedial measure in larger interest of road users keeping in mind their safety.

Technically SDMC is not competent to deal with such constructions and aquiring land , shifting utility etc.
I think all roads should be under one department whether it is PWD or call it Delhi Road Coporation irrespective of their width and length. Multiple Road agencies gives nighmare currently
Look the lists, NHAI, CPWD, PWD, NDMC, DCB, EDMC, NDMC, SDMC, DDA, Irrigation and may be some more.

Most improtant factors on these infra project isDELAY related COST on EXCHEQUER each month it cause huge loss. This mus tbe recovered from both contractor and other involved parties including COnsultants etc appointed.

this is the crux of problem. some times I wonder who was the the
culprit Kalmadi or Ms SHiela Dikshit/central sports minister because
there were eight agencies working independently on CWG.I feel Kalmadi
needs to be appreciated for successful completion of games. Nothing
will work unless Governance improves.no amount of FDI RELAXATION will
help without it

Hi All

Governance has gone to gutter is what I can say.. Govt is privatizing profit making PSU like NTPC, NHPC etc and getting big money and than looting that money this way or other way.. At end, money is gone and PSUs whose profit was for nation is now going again to outsiders.. See how much disinvestment is being done in last 15 years.. Most are making profit..

About mutiple departments or single, if people are corrupt nothing will work.. About culprit, if any agency is buying toilet rolls for 200+ Rs its not due to multiple agencies.. If someone is hell bent to import street lights at few lacs a pience its not due to multiple deptt.. Corrupt people will loot it doesn't matter how much deptt are there..

About Roads, please note Areas are well demarcated. For this flyover, two road agencies are not fighting its the inefficiecy of the single deptt.. I feel its more of blame game.. IF there are multiple agencies its easy for them to put ball in others court. If single agency, its tough to put ball in others court witinin same agency but they still do..

Just think u goto AE of one area of DDA and he says go to the other and so on.. So if people want to work, they will otherwise you can't make them work without punishment. But punishment from people who themself promote all wrongs is not possible..

Thanks

Goyal Sahib   Ask for in second RTI request   Zero Date, Starting Date? Planned Cost? Project Cost Over Run?, if any Total loss to all stake holders? Penalty Clause? Any penalty exercised so far on Contractor or Executing Officials? Lesson learnt, if any to be used for future projects? Improvement in Process and Procedures?  Time & Cost Overrun is also Corruption         -- On Sun, 25/11/12, Sanjeev Goyal <cwa...@gmail.com> wrote:

Every where same position see the reply of \Pwd for foot over bridge at Muniraka, cost is whopping more than 26.5 crores original date \nov 2011 but still to be completed.

[REJIMON C K]

Why PWD insist on RECORD access through visit, why they are not providing Copies.
Project COST OVER RUN denied.
Penalty imposed and cluse denied

I am sure you may have filed appeal.
The denial of information raise a doubt on the INTEGRITY of the EE- FO-112. Does he or some in PWD FO deducted amount the contractor for the delay and could have siphoned off ?Or have they favoured the Contractor by not imposing penalty and blacklisting and taken any favour.
This required vigilance investigation since EE-FO-112 denied the information.

[Mahendra Kumar Gupta]

Sanjiv ji, please do not leave this issue in between. If any help is required, pl. speak to me over phone. 

[Sanjeev Goyal]

til now I could not file appeal, but will shortly file appeal & follow up RTI.

 

Thanks

thats nice.

[G.K. SETHI]

One major and most important issue should also be discussed with it. That is major traffic jams on both sides of Dabri-Dwarka road almost for whole day. Jams are only & only because of deep pot holes. Had it well carpeted road, jams would have not happened. wherever any flyover be constructed, Maintanence of side roads should also be the responsibility of contractor. It has to be the part of the contract.

[Arun Banerjee]

Spk to PWD engg. 2 take up d issue.

[manju rawat]

I feel most of us use Cars so we don't know the problem people face while using public transport. I request all of you to add Foot Over Bridge at sector 7-1 (near bus stop) or any other heavy traffic areas so that public transport commuters who should get first preference be in advantage. regards, Manju Rawat   --- On Sat, 12/1/12, G.K.

Dear all,

It has been confirmed that the portion which is in a very dilapidated condition near Dabri crossing is under MCD and not been handed over to PWD. The potholes are to be filled by MCD (SDMC). It is hoped that the pot holed portion will be taken up by MCD soon. 

Thnx & regards,

[G.K. SETHI]

Sir, this flyover too being built by MCD and not by PWD.

Flyover work on Pankha Road a hazard for people

 

By Risha Chitlangia, TNN | Dec 3, 2012, 01.51 AM IST

 

NEW DELHI: Even after missing two deadlines, the South corporation's ambitious Dabri flyover onPankha Road is nowhere near completion. Moreover, with no step taken for the safety of pedestrians, hundreds of residents of Janakpuri and Dabri risk their lives every day while crossing the road. 

Nine-year-old Sahil, a resident of Dabri, has to brave the fast-moving traffic every day to reach his school, Sarvodaya Vidyalaya in Janakpuri, which is just across the road. "The traffic never stops and me and my friends hold hands while crossing the road," said Sahil, who also jumps over a four-foot-high divider to cross the road. 

The Pankha Road project is a prime example of poor planning and bad management. "There have been problems in this project right from the start. The corporation failed in planning the project properly. There are no traffic signal on this 1km-long stretch to help pedestrians cross the road and they have to dodge the traffic to cross the road," said Sanjay Puri, a former councillor. 

Even the construction site is not barricaded properly. The one carriageway that was opened to public recently is also not lit. "Streetlights have not been installed. At night, it is extremely dangerous to drive on this stretch," said Gulshan Rai, president of Janakpuri C2 Block resident welfare association. 

According to Rajesh Gehlot, chairman, standing committee, South corporation, "The construction company will be asked to deploy marshals to man the site. We are in talks with traffic police to install a traffic signal for pedestrian movement on this stretch as the construction work will continue for at least six months. We are going to open the second carriageway soon." 

The project, sanctioned in 2009, was scheduled to be completed by 2011, but last year the deadline was extended by a year. Officials say that though the civic agency will open both the carriageways, the entire flyover will be complete only by 2013-end, as the work on the clover leaf connecting west Delhi to Dwarka has just started.
