Sahinabad Underpass Delay: 7 Months On, No Relief; March Deadline Looms

• Sahinabad Site-4 Industrial Area's underpass construction, a 12 crore project by UPSIDA, remains incomplete after seven months.
• Initially promised in 5-6 months, the project faces a new deadline of March, causing major headaches for businesses and commuters.
• Route diversions due to the incomplete underpass lead to increased traffic congestion and higher logistics costs for industrial units.
• Delays attributed to initial rains, pollution control measures (GRAP), labor shortages, and interference from some industries.
• Officials now claim the underpass will be open by the end of March, connecting sectors and easing traffic and waterlogging.
